South Padre Island Map
This map
gives an overview of the entire island. As with all the maps,
you can press the Map, Satellite, and Hybrid buttons to get a
different view of the map. One of the first things you will
notice on this map is South Padre Island a long narrow strip.
Even though the total area composes almost 2 square miles, most
of the island takes on an almost rectangular shape as most of
the island's distance from east to west is under 1/2 a mile. In
addition, in the lower left hand corner, you will realize the
Queen Isabella Causeway is quite long as it spans two miles in
length. Another point
of reference is to recognize the bay (Laguna
Madre) is to the east of island and the Gulf of
Mexico is to the left. This results in sunrises
being best viewed on the gulfside and sunsets
best seen on the bayside.
This island also has a large
number of attractions that span between the Andy Bowie
Park in the north all the way to the south with Isla Blanca
County Park. In addition, it has 13 beach access points
to the Gulf and 3 public boat ramps.
