Any suggestions for this place? It's a family member's (kinda distant) wedding, and I didn't even know South Padre Island existed until I got the invitation.

As to locale of the wedding, did the Wedding Party lose a bet? Frick SPI. All the charm of a Bus Station.

Glad it's you, not me, I'd be a no-show.

Cafe on the Beach for nicer seafood
Dirty Al's for grungy seafood
Gabriella's if you like craft beer
Coconuts to watch the sunset
Manuel's in Port Isabel for breakfast tacos (this is a must)
Yummy's or Grapevine for quick breakfast

ETA - If you want to be a true beach tourist...Louie's has a buffet where you can over eat, then go carts, bungee jumps, etc. where you can go to throw up what you just ate.

The food at South Padre Brewing sucks and the beers are hit or miss.

BurgerFi is good for a quick burger.

Wanna wanna is a good place for some overpriced drinks on the beach.

The sea turtle rescue place was really neat and sad because some of them were missing fins and shite.

We did a dolphin watch and actually did see a few so there's that.

Schlitterbahn is on the island as well.

Not sure if you have a room yet or not, but even if you have to get a place on the bay side, it's just a short walk to the beach.

ETA: there was a Valero gas station right by our place that had reasonable beer prices, but also there was a HEB on the way in Port Isabell.

Ended up eating blackbeards everyday because it wasn't too far from where we were staying and the food was pretty good and not terribly expensive. The other places we ate sucked. That's all I got.
