Unlock Texas

Make a splash at Hurricane Alley! The Coastal Bend's largest and newest waterpark. The park features exciting attractions and plenty of water so you can cool off under the Texas sun. Experience the rush of the 6-story Cat 5 water slide, race down the Storm Chaser speed slide, battle the waves of the Storm Surge, or get carried away in the Gulf Stream lazy river. There are also designated areas where pint-sized visitors can have fun made just for them, and swim-up bars where adults can enjoy a drink without ever leaving the water.

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.

Get to shuckin' at the Fulton Oysterfest. The festival features carnival rides, games, food, an oyster eating contest, live music and lots more on the beautiful Rockport-Fulton bayfront.

Visit Oso Beach Golf Course to play a game on one of the city's award-winning municipal golf courses. Watch out, because the wind is certain to put some kinks in your game.
