1. Beaches of South Padre Island

SOUTH PADRE ISLAND.   Most national publications rank South Padre Island as one of the best beach resorts in the United States – and those who have visited Texas's tiny (it's only 30 or so miles long) tropical island would no doubt agree. Wide expanses of soft white sand lead to warm turquoise waters, creating a postcard-perfect scene. Steady breezes are ideal for windsurfers, and calm, clear waters are a favorite with snorklers and divers. Anglers, too, are not overlooked at South Padre, and plenty of fishing opportunities are available in both the Laguna Madre and the Gulf.   (© 10Best)
