North Padre Island is where wide open beaches, calm coastal living, and natural beauty come together. It is a place shaped by the Gulf, designed for slower days, and appreciated by those who value space, simplicity, and a more intentional way of life. Whether you are visiting for a weekend or considering something more permanent, North Padre offers an experience that feels relaxed, refined, and distinctly its own.
Life on North Padre Island revolves around the outdoors, the water, and time well spent. From long beach walks and water activities to local dining, nature exploration, and seasonal events, the island offers a balanced mix of calm and activity. It is less about packed itineraries and more about choosing how you want each day to unfold.
Two Steppin' on the Third Coast
We had way too much fun the first time… so we’ve partnered with Mikel May's Too and Coach Lacey to do it again. This ain't our first rodeo! Is it yours?
Good music, packed dance floor, lots of laughs, and that “one more song” energy that turns into the whole night. Whether you came last time or missed it and kept hearing about it, this is your sign to show up and dance it out.
No experience needed, no pressure to be perfect. Just show up, move your feet, and have a good time. If you want a little help getting started, come early and catch the dance lessons. If you’d rather jump straight into the fun, doors are open later and the floor will be moving.
