Take some time to stroll the sea wall and stumble upon the Selena Memorial Statue, which stands in memorium of the Tejano superstar taken from the world too soon.
Head out toward the Island to experience the food and environment of the Padre Island Burger Company. This popular hangout serves up some amazing gourmet burgers - we recommend the Mr. Beckham - and the atmosphere here is laid-back and nothing short of island chic. Live music and great drink specials also add to the Burger Company's appeal.
