Labor Day Weekend marks the end of the 2026 Summer Season on SPI!

The summer season "officially" begins on Memorial Day Weekend with a short rush of people ready for summer at the beach, then winds down a bit; only to pick up around mid-June and peaks on the 4th of July. It remains consistently busy the entire month of July and up until the first week of August once the kids go back to school.

Fishing tournaments keep the Island busy during August and weekends are still generally busy during September/October since the water is still warm and SPI is a short drive away from anyone living in the Rio Grande Valley.

Rates at hotels and short-term rentals go to "off-season" pricing, there are no waits at restaurants, the water is still warm, the fishing is great, the waves are fun, and the weather is generally perfect in October! Fall is "Postcard Weather"!

Fall is also a great time of year to visit if you are in the market to purchase a home/condo on and around the Island. It can be difficult to access properties during the peak season since most are occupied with guests.

What is your favorite time of year to visit? Why?
