Welcome to South Padre Island!

The home page of this Web site says,

"The good life isn't a dream - it's a destination."

This simple phrase sums up the appeal of South Padre Island to retirees. South Padre Island lies two and a half miles off shore and miles from the stresses of everyday life.

What do people seek in a retirement community?

  • Good weather
  • Low taxes (no state income tax in Texas!)
  • People to meet and enjoy (average age on South Padre Island is 51.5 years)
  • Housing availability
  • A community understanding their needs and moving positively forward

South Padre Island isn't just a town; it's a way of life. You've worked hard. Now it's time to coast.
