Planning Your Next Meeting on South Padre Island

Escape the four walls and plan your next meeting on Texas’ only tropical island. With warm temperatures year-round, the beaches of South Padre Island are welcoming for meetings, conferences and events, or even turning those occasions into vacations with loved ones. Imagine feeling the sand between your toes and hearing the waves rolling up on the shore just minutes after your last meeting ends. South Padre Island is the only Gulf Coast destination that offers beachfront properties with meeting space. We are also proud to offer sunrises over the beach and magnificent sunsets over the bay. There is also much to do "outside the boardroom" from golf, fishing, and adventure sports; team building; boutique shopping; water activities; delicious local cuisine; and plenty of family-friendly activities. Come enjoy your next meeting or event on the charming, laid-back Island of South Padre, where casual Friday is everyday and conferences feel more like vacations.

Our affordable tours are priced per person with tax and gratuities included. The only thing not included are drinks. However, a beverage package upgrade is available, which provides guests a signature cocktail at various stops. Build Your Network Our exclusive experiences provide the ultimate networking opportunities. At a typical sit-down dinner, you’re lucky to engage the person to the left and right of you. Because our tours take place at multiple restaurants, with walking in between, there are countless opportunities to interact with different people when you sit down at each venue and as you traverse along the way. Our experiences not only provide more ways to network, but a more convivial way to do so. Large Groups Welcome Lip Smacking Foodie Tours is ideal for groups, small or large.

Just remember to submit ahead of the tour date any dietary restrictions and food allergies for anyone in your group.

Menus can be printed featuring your logo, too, which can be an added bonus for all those Instagram moments you share.

Our one-of-a-kind tours are special, from the first stop to the last. It’s an experience that attendees will reminisce about long after they leave. Location, Location, Location One of the best reasons to book is the convenient and efficient way the experience is designed. All restaurants are within an easy walking distance of each other.

Wellness Beyond the Ordinary Swift Fit Events is a health and wellness company based in Austin, curating corporate and community programming throughout Texas. ‍ Corporate team building at conferences and events often seems to revolve around the same activities: heavy meals and heavy drinking. While we’re not opposed to either—hello, Texas BBQ!—we also love getting to experience a new city and new people in a fun, fresh way. We’re not hardcore, on a high horse about health, or too woo-woo about wellness. By offering a variety of fitness classes, mindfulness activities, and unique local experiences, our mission is to empower the community to practice self-care and commit to healthy habit formation.
