2008 is a leap year and that means that Easter Vacation will also occur during March this season.

Some footage from the spring break at South Padre Island in 2007.

South Padre Island is a popular resort town.

In 1967, Hurricane Beulah caused extensive damage to much of the town of South Padre Island.

Subsequent to rebuilding, the island became a popular spring break destination for college students and other tourists. Many multistory resort hotels and condominiums have been erected along the coastline to the Gulf of Mexico.
