Sightseeing
One of the many famous kitesurfing beaches on SPI. On a breezy day, it's a joy to walk these flats on the Laguna Madre and watch kitesurfers soar above the waves.

Closests Airports
The closest airport is Brownsville, TX - BRO, 20 minutes away served by United Airlines connecting in DFW and HOU, and American Airlines connecting in DFW. Many other airlines fly direct and connecting routes as well, so check. The FBO is Southmost Aviation, great folks.
The next closest and probably cheaper too, is Harligen TX - HRL, about 50 minutes away.

Do I need a car on SPI?
No, not really, there are many other options, plus traffic and parking in the popular seasons is a pain. Uber/Lyft work fine on SPI. Golfcart and bike rental shops are plentiful. There is also a FREE SHUTTLE called the Island Metro that runs up and down SPI and out to Port Isabel for shopping and sightseeing, google it for schedules. Of course, bring comfortable walking sandals as this is always a great and perhaps best option. Unlike other islands (Hilton Head comes to mind), most if not all of what you need is in walking distance on SPI (groceries, shopping, restaurants, services, clinics).
