I just turned 18 on Jan 14th, I'm a senior in high school and some friends and I are planning a trip to South Padre on Spring Break. We're planning on flying over there (even though we all live in Dallas) I'm so excited and this will be the first time I'm doing anything exciting for Spring Break. Do you have any advice/tips and any experiences from South Padre during Spring Break?

I even made a check list--

swimsuits
gym shorts
flip flops
crocs
sunblock
off spray
digital camera
sunglasses
beach towels
blankets/pillows
nightlife clothes
toiletry
first aid kit
gps
ipod
benadryll
condoms
phone/wallet/keys

anything you want to add?
 
asprin for ur hangover and alot of patients, I lived in brownsville about 30 from SP and traffic on the causway is crazy.



AND BEADS!!!!
 
why under age kids go to Spring break is beyond me. Sure your 18, but you cant drink, and if you do drink you will most likely be caught! SPI is a fun place, but it gets a little crazy around spring break, and I Would much rather spend my break in corpus or something. I never did the whole spring break thing, but I will be in sunny ssan Diego for spring break this year!!
 
It's a nice place; Some of the greatest waves in Texas. (Which isn't saying much, but still.) Bring a board or something.

yah the surf is good down there, but we here in texas have our great surf days. Winter is where its at for surf in texas!
 
I used to live in that area... let me tell you man.. please if you are under 21 do NOT drink... that Island and the cities surrounding the island are crawling with cops around that time and I can almost promise you that you WILL get caught, especially in Port Isabel... You shouldn't drink if your are under 21 anyway.. Just warning you.. Have fun though, its pretty...:apple:

This is very true, if you do drink, drink moderately and only drink in your hotel room!!!!!!
 
I Know where to get a good deal on rooms

my friend works at a hotel on padre. it is brand new, and they still have rooms available for spring break. i put some pictures of it on here, the code to get the deal is SB09. the number is 956-761-7711, if you want the discount use the SB09 code when you call.;)
