Restuarants, Flowers and birds (South Padre Island, TX)

There are many good restuarants on South Padre
Island. My favorites are as follows
The Texas Moon
The Grapevine
Yummy's
Pirates Landing (Port Isabel)
Pier 19
Joe's Oyster Bar (Port Isabel)



Joe's Oyster bar is the very best!!
The Grilled Shrimp and Fish are
simply the best anywhere.

Donna, above shows off a crabcake at Joe's.


Justin, above, holds up a large grilled shrimp at Joe's!
This is awsome!!!!!!


Jamie, above, holds up a grilled Flounder at Joe's.

This is delicious no matter which way you look at it at Joe's!
It melts in your mouth.


Pier 19 above offers great food and
a fantastic view. Quite often Dolphins show up
to entertain while dining.


Yummy's above is another good place to eat and
offered outside dining as well as inside.


Pirates Landing in Port Isabel above is another favorite place to eat.
The decor, atmosphere and food is great!!


Beautiful yellow flowers.

Yuka blossoms.
