#beach The Padre Island National Seashore separates the Gulf of Mexico from the Laguna Madre, one of a few hypersaline lagoons in the world. The park protects 70 miles of coastline, dunes, prairies, and wind tidal flats teeming with life. It also has beautiful stretches of road with road access to the beach. Very scenic and very enjoyable!!!

Just expected more from a Wyndham. What is represented online, is not what you get! Just looks like it has had about 10 too many Spring-Breaks. Staff is friendly and helpful. Value did not meet the price of admission.

The place is spotless and everything is new. I was in town to Windsurf for a few days. Being able to park my vehicle in the garage was great. I didn’t have to worry about my car getting broken into with all my gear. I will definitely book again next time.
