Sightseeing

Checkout the sights before crossing the causeway over to South Padre Island. Try out the seafood at Pirate's Landing or Pelican Station. The Lost Galleon no longer exists, but they served the best all you could eat flounder and shrimp. Checkout some of the novelty shops as well and walk the pier at Pirate's Landing or do some fishing off the pier.
