Heading to Brownsville/Matamoros


Queen Prawn

Recommended Posts

So Texax folk, anything I should see while there?  I will be there for work, but they like to make sure first timers get to see the sites as well and wanted to check and see if there is anything I should make sure to see.

Great! South Padre Island has some nice clubs and the weather is still great for the beach. I haven't spent as much time in Matamoros as I have in Progresso and Reynosa, two other border towns just up the river.

Parasailing

 

 

Join Breakaway Cruises for your parasail adventure. Your professional Captain and Crew welcome you to see South Padre Island as every tourist should, from a bird's-eye view of 600 feet. You can even share the ride with your best friend. We were the first tandem parasail on the Island, and we are still the best. Take offs and landings are done directly from one of our new Coast Guard Certified Boat boats.

Eco-Tours

 

 

Our family-oriented Eco-Tours are the educational way to experience marine life up close and hands-on. It is a different catch every day — we never know what we will find. Look and learn from our knowledgeable First-Mates about fish, crabs, stingrays and assorted marine life brought on board. We drag a sh

rimp net behind the boat and put the catch into an observation tank. The creatures are then safely returned to the Gulf after our presentation. See Xcape and Getaway

Fishing Charters

 

 

Big game fishing with Breakaway.  This is a trip of a lifetime.  Miles offshore you will go in search of Marlin, Tuna, Mackerel, Ling, Shark and other game fish.  Our boats are the best on the Gulf Coast; fast, air- conditioned with all the amenities you would expect on a big time charter.

Couple of Food Stops

 

#1 on the list is Texas BBQ

Rudy's in Brownsville

 

#2 is tacos nortenos at Taqeria el Zarape or El Pato bistek with onions and cilantro with plenty of salsa

 

#3 Whataburger. Best fast food buger in the world.

 

#4 If you go to the island either Blackbeards or Sea Ranch for dinner. I prefer Blackbeards but Sea Ranch has the bigger reputation and is one of America's Top 50.

 

#5 Party at Louie's Backyard fun club on the island.
