Today was a day of discovery, history, and relaxation as we ventured beyond South Padre Island to explore the vibrant culture of Nuevo Progreso, Mexico.
We began our morning by crossing the Progreso International Bridge, stepping into the colorful streets of Nuevo Progreso. The crowded streets were surrounded by shops filled with handcrafted goods, local art, and vendors sharing their wares. After browsing through the bustling stores and booths we stopped for lunch at the Red Snapper, a local favorite known for its fresh seafood and laid-back atmosphere. The food was delicious.
On our way back to South Padre, we made a stop in Port Isabel, where we visited the Port Isabel Lighthouse State Historic Site. We climbed to the top for panoramic views of the bay and the Queen Isabella Causeway stretching toward South Padre Island. Just a short walk away, we explored the Port Isabel Museums, which offered a fascinating glimpse into the region’s maritime history and cultural heritage.
As the sun began to set, we returned to Margaritaville Beach Resort, our home base for the trip. After dinner, we took one last evening stroll along the beach, soaking in the golden hues of the sky and the gentle rhythm of the waves. The day ended poolside, surrounded by glowing palm trees and the relaxed vibe that Margaritaville is known for.
From international adventures to coastal charm, Day 3 was a perfect blend of exploration and serenity.
