We are very proud of our Island here in the RGV, and the Island residents are some of the best. We, too, are unhappy with the effect red tide has had, and it's been a few years since we've last seen it. However, we hope it doesn't damper your visit, and with the cool weather, it soon shall pass. A few things to check out while in the Laguna Madre area: The large beautifully sculptured sandcastle in the SPI visitors center, Beachcomber's Museum on SPI that has a local historic flair, the Port Isabel lighthouse (only lighthouse along Texas coast open to the public), the Museums of Port Isabel, the antique shops, Sea Turtle, Inc, etc. Go to sopadre.com for more information on SPI. <br /><br />I hope the remainder of your RGV stay is an enjoyable experience.Melissa Zamorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03340390699806116552noreply@blogger.com
