Easter Beach Crowd Overruns South Padre Island
Thousands of college students swarmed Isla Blanca Park and Port Isabel as Easter weekend brought record crowds to South Padre Island near Brownsville. Tents filled the area, traffic clogged the causeway, and officers reported multiple drug arrests while vendors and beachgoers packed the island. Temperature rose from 46 to 76 degrees with 69 degree surf. Sanitation facilities lagged but a $100,000 project aimed to improve restrooms.
