SAND

SOUTH PADRE ISLAND IS A 34-MILE LONG SUBTROPICAL ISLAND LOCATED ON THE GULF COAST OF TEXAS, 25 MILES NORTH OF THE MEXICAN BORDER. THE ISLAND IS A HALF MILE WIDE AT ITS WIDEST POINT, AND ONLY THE ISLAND’S SOUTHERNMOST FIVE MILES ARE DEVELOPED. MORE THAN 5,000 RESIDENTS CALL THE ISLAND HOME, WITH APPROXIMATELY FIVE MILLION VISITORS A YEAR.

WHEN THE ROAD DRIFTS SHUT ON THE NORTH END, THEY BRING OUT THE HEAVY EQUIPMENT TO CLEAR THE SAND.

PERSONALLY I’LL TAKE SAND OVER SNOW ANYDAY !!!
