South Padre Island is the tropical tip of Texas and the best value in Ocean Front property in the United States. We are also named on MSN.com as one of the top 10 beaches!

These include: the available room for expansion on the north end of the island, the comparatively low prices for beachfront property (vs. Florida and California), the uncertainty of the stock market, and the large number of baby boomers retiring. Total sales for 2006 are up by 11% from last year.
