Spring Break 2017

Yikes! I'm starting to hear horror stories about Spring Break on South Padre Island (SPI). About 10-15 years ago, SPI reached its peak. Nowadays, SPI is not the "go-to" place, but the crowds will still be big.

Should we vacate the island or hang tough? If we stay, everyone says to "stock up" so you don't have to go to the store during the onslaught. Stay or go, the week of March 11, centered on March 15, looks to be the epicenter for Texas schools.

Here's a guide to Spring Break 2017.

When is your Spring Break?

Join thousands of fellow Spring Breakers on the shores of South Padre Island to party ’til your heart’s content over four nights of unforgettable dance music.
