If you like sand and warm sea breezes, you will like South Padre. Since I grew up 4 miles from the beach, it holds little attraction for me. Don't like grit in my hot dogs.
There is plenty of good fishing around, both salt and fresh water, up and down the coastal area. Slow paced fishing towns have a laid back placid appeal. Ozz has/had a nice, improved lot there as Bill said. I don't know how it weathered the hurricanes that came in the last couple of years. They came through mostly north of there.
I lived on the coast of Texas for over 50 years and rode through or ran from every big storm that came through since 1946 except Rita and Ike. From those experiences, my counsel for Rvers is to leave a target area when the storm is suspected. If you wait until you know for certain, you have waited to long. There is nothing worse than being tied up in a long line of very slow moving traffic with a storm clawing at your tailpipe.
