Rent A Fishing Charter On Your Next Gulf Getaway

By Wesley Mathews


Even though South Padre Island just off the Texas coast has long been a fishing haven, there is a lot here for nearly everyone: a few of the finest beach fronts in America are located here (the truth is, the beaches of South Padre Island are listed among the top ten in the country). South Padre Island getaway rentals near the beaches and therefore a host of additional activities are available at sensible rates in the course of the off-season, making it one of this country's top vacation locations.

Fishing outings furnished by qualified captains regularly sail out into the gulf wherever the marlin, mahimahi and in many cases shark are plentiful. Rates for fishing boat charters fluctuate, but generally run between $450 and $500 for a half-day and $800-$1200 for a full day and boats can accommodate up to eight anglers.

Besides excellent saltwater fishing, there's also deer and even bird hunting in specified areas, as the island includes a substantial population of game in close proximity to cabin rental accommodations.

Family activities available that are next to South Padre Island beach rentals and vacation homes include biking, fine dining, bird watching and an incredible number of festivals and other celebrations during the year. You may even go bungee jumping if you like.

If youre sporty in your inclinations, you will need to point your computer's browser to http://www.unlimitedsportsadventures.com/ , Web home of the USA Surf 'n' Turf Adventure Race. This once a year experience is one in which teams of two compete in a swimming race, a foot race and a bicycle race.

September is going to be another eventful month for visitors. It starts with the Fireworks Over The Bay SPI Beach Volleyball Tournament, held on the South Padre Island Convention & Visitors Bureau and Boomerang Billy's Beach at the Surf Motel. This event is open to nearly everyone, and with a cash reward at stake, shouldn't be missed. The following weekend often is the island's yearly catamaran contest, the Ruffrider Regatta. Visit http://www.ruffrider.net/ on the World Wide Web for more info.

Motorcyclists will enjoy the South Padre Island Bikefest, held on Columbus Day weekend. In addition to food, drink and music, there are camping facilities.

The more creative and artistic among us should enjoy the International Sand Sculpture Competition, held in mid-October. This contest is open to artists of all degrees, both amateur and professional. You can find out more about it and even see some of the awesome sand sculptures contestants have created by visiting http://www.sandcastledays.com/ .

Ofcourse the year rounds out with the South Padre Island International Music Festival, in which musicians of every type present live shows at venues throughout the area. Info is available at www.spimusicfest.com.

As a way to book your South Padre Island beach rentals ahead of time, you will want to go to www.padrebeachhouses.com found on the World Wide Web to find the most inexpensive rates as well as the most complete selection.
