Gas up the boat and head to the Texas International Fishing Tournament, the largest of its kind in the state. Cast a line and make the catch to win some money in this offshore competition. Past competitors have reeled in big fish like blue marlin, white marlin, and sailfish, along with smaller catches like speckled trout, redfish, and flounder. If you're prone to seasickness on a boat, hang out at the docks and watch the action from the shore.
Enter a world of arts and sciences at the IMAS. The International Museum of Art and Science is home to unique exhibitions and attractions that feature artworks in many forms, and the various sciences found in nature. On your visit, be sure to let the kids explore the KidsZone for hands-on, educational fun.
Hang out at Coconuts Bar & Grill for tasty food, awesome drink specials, and fun near the coast. Before you enjoy delights from the menu, rent a jet ski and make some waves in the water to really work up your appetite. If you're hitting the beach in South Padre this summer, stopping in at this bar is a must.
