In addition to those titles, specific places in South Padre Island were crowned winners in individual categories:
- Brewery - The Padre Island Brewing Company
- Instagrammable Spot (Small Market) - SPI Beach Chairs
- Live Music Venue (Small Market) - LongBoard Bar & Grill
- Outdoor Activity (Small Market) - Surfing
The Texas Travel Awards looked at four categories — arts and culture, families, foodies and outdoor adventures.
People were asked to submit their favorite destinations for each, and then a panel of judges, including KSAT’s David Elder, decided on the winners.
“The Texas Travel Awards shine a spotlight on the most exciting, innovative, and inviting places around the state. The 2022 winners represent uniquely Texas places and experiences worthy of any traveler’s itinerary,” its website states.
