Planning Your Next Meeting on South Padre Island
Escape the four walls and plan your next meeting on Texas’ only tropical island. With warm temperatures year-round, the beaches of South Padre Island are welcoming for meetings, conferences and events, or even turning those occasions into vacations with loved ones. Imagine feeling the sand between your toes and hearing the waves rolling up on the shore just minutes after your last meeting ends. South Padre Island is the only Gulf Coast destination that offers beachfront properties with meeting space. We are also proud to offer sunrises over the beach and magnificent sunsets over the bay. There is also much to do "outside the boardroom" from golf, fishing, and adventure sports; team building; boutique shopping; water activities; delicious local cuisine; and plenty of family-friendly activities. Come enjoy your next meeting or event on the charming, laid-back Island of South Padre, where casual Friday is everyday and conferences feel more like vacations.
