Port Isabel Lighthouse was erected to help guide vessels through stormy waters. Still a significant local landmark today, it's sure to have a few stories to tell about sailing rescues and triumphs.

You're spoiled for sightseeing choice when visiting Port Isabel. Port Isabel Lighthouse is an ideal place to kick off here, but there are many other fine spots to explore. Beach Park at Isla Blanca, South Padre Island Beach, and Isla Blanca Park are close to the longstanding beacon and will top off your day nicely.
