Port Isabel Lighthouse Tours

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.

Had a great time here with the family. A little minor problem but Andrew was quick to get it fixed and resolved. Very spacious home with plenty of beds and home sits walking distance to beach. Kids enjoyed the private pool. I’d definitely rent this condo again. Restaurants are nearby too so you don’t have to drive far either.

South Padre Island Beach
The Kaiser Library is located just behind the Garden of Dreams in the Thamel district of Kathmandu. You access it via a driveway located just past the garden entrance. I can only describe this incredible place as a living Wes Anderson tribute to Orientalism. Signing into the log book is like going back into time complete with suits of armor, skulls in cases, and tomes such as "Big Game Hunting in the Himalayas" and "Recent Happenings in Persia". Desks lie surrounded with mismatched chairs and pictures of turn of the century hunting expeditions. As a bibliophile and archaeology grad, this place was heaven. I have travelled around the world, but this might have been one of my favorite sites to experience ever. Seriously. Photo is my own. Not for use commercially. #architecture
