Texas is lined with cities along the coast, many filled with amenities and features galore. However, one city has come out on top as it received multiple recognition from the Texas Travel Awards.
The City of South Padre Island won three Texas Travel Awards this year. South Padre Island was awarded for its many city attractions, including the best views, a highlighted food festival, and an outdoor activity.

“As the sun descends, the sky transforms into a canvas of oranges, pinks, and purples, creating a mesmerizing backdrop amidst palm-lined streets and lively establishments,” detailed the Travel Awards in its recognition.
The city was also highlighted for its festival Tacos y Tequila, a quintessential culinary extravaganza. As the city is located in the Rio Grande Valley, judges found its partnership with renowned chefs and local culinary talents offered truly authentic and quality tacos. They also found the tequila to be equally impressive with premium selections of tequila and cocktail creations.

Lastly, South Padre was recognized for its treasured outdoor activity, Black Dragon Cruises, which transforms cruise guests of all ages into pirates. Guests are taught to fight, speak and even hunt like a pirates while sailing the coast in a modern-day replica of a 17th-century galleon. Outside its storytelling and engaging activities, the staff also educates guests about the region’s rich maritime history.
