RE: A Quiet Getaway at South Padre Island: Our Overnight Stay at Inverness

My husband has been wanting to go to South Padre Island ever since we moved to the Galveston area. We have friends who go there quite often, so that may be a destination for us soon. My issue, I HATE the beach, because I HATE the sand. I love the water and watching it, but I don't want to get in it.

Sort:  

There's no getting past it there. The whole island is a giant sand bar. Sand gets everywhere.

That's what I figured. We haven't even explored much of Galveston Island, yet, so we need to do that first anyway.

Perhaps something with a balcony overlooking the beach. It's rather soothing on a cool evening.

Yes, that's what we did in Galveston a few years ago. I sat on the balcony watching the water and everyone else went to the beach. I could watch them from there unless they decided to take a walk down the beach. But, that meant I wasn't spending time with the family.
