There are 11 federal holidays that take place in our country every year, most of which we all receive a paid day off that we often use for travel, and always have a list of things that we feel we need to do to celebrate them properly.
With the exception of Labor Day which is literally a day that we celebrate how hard we work by not doing anything we HAVE to do, and if your journey is bringing you to North Padre Island for a Labor Day weekend getaway in Texas of doing nothing, choosing to stay in our On Island Time Vacation Rentals holiday hideaway is the best way to feel pampered as you live the life of leisure.
Offering luxury, comfort, and style that will complement the stunning beauty of the paradise each property is located in, this guide to Labor Day Weekend on North Padre Island will show you all the ways you can play, relax, and feel totally spoiled.
Every Lazy Day Deserves a Visit to the Beach
The beaches of North Padre Island never fail to thrill, and they are one of our favorite places to go and do absolutely nothing. We find our landing spot in the sand, spread out towels, beach chairs, and plant a colorful umbrella, staking our claim much as the astronauts did with a flag on the moon. And as the ocean roars, the seabirds cry out, and the sounds of laughter and conversation provide a musical backdrop, we nap, we read, and we let our troubles, fears, and worries fly away in ocean breezes. You too, can follow in our footsteps, enjoying a carefree holiday on white sands, but if you are a little bit allergic to sitting around doing nothing, the Gulf waters offer plenty of opportunity for adventure, some of which we will talk about below.
Padre Island Jet Ski, 13317 S Padre Island Drive in Corpus Christi
Offering a variety of jet ski tours that take guests along the canals, seeking dolphins, or simply zipping along the Padre Island National Seashore, reveling in the beauty of an almost fall day on North Padre Island. Your kids will love their Pirate Treasure Hunt Tour, which comes complete with a treasure map and a buried treasure filled with pirate gold; this one encourages dressing in your favorite pirate gear, enhancing the fun everyone can have on the adventure!
Spot N’ Tails Fishing Charters
You can pack your pole and gear and head to the Packery Channel Jetties for a morning of fishing and relaxation or you can enjoy a day of fishing fun on a Spot N’ Tails fishing charter, going out to where the big fish swim and ensuring your tale about the one who got away is a little more believable! With prices ranging from $650 for 1-2 anglers up to $850 for 4 anglers, this adventure may seem a little pricey until you realize that if you don’t catch a fish, you don’t have to pay! You will need to get your saltwater license and bring your own food, drinks, hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen, but when you catch the fish that is almost as big as you are, we don’t think you will mind.
Snoopy’s Pier, 13313 S Padre Island Drive in Corpus Christi
You’ve spent the day at the beach or out on the water, and when dinner time rolls around, we can assure you that you will feel really hungry. You probably won’t be tired of sea views, however, no matter how hungry you are, and that’s ok, because we are sending you to Snoopy’s Pier, a local favorite that sits right on the water, offering sunset views to go along with that locally sourced seafood dinner you will soon be devouring! Everything on their menu is wonderful, but if you forget to order some hushpuppies to go along with your meal, you will be very disappointed in yourself!
Do Nothing Luxuriously at Home with On Island Time Vacation Rentals
Doing nothing takes on capital letter proportions in our North Padre Island holiday hideaways. Sitting out on balconies that overlook the water, swimming in community pools that are clear and blue, even soaking in the community hot tubs after a long day of jet skiing; these are just a few things that will make your vacation experience feel hedonistic. Also offering retreats with boat slips that you can tie your rental boat to, heading out for a day of exploration guaranteed to be exciting. Some communities will offer barbecue areas, encouraging travelers to enjoy a family barbecue, just as they would at home. And every property will offer a happy place to land at the end of every day; reserve your favorite holiday haven today and discover all the ways Labor Day is about to become your new favorite holiday!
