South Padre KOA RV Resort and FishBones Pier and
Grill is a unique environmental reclamation project.
Situated on the shore of Laguna Madre Bay, palm trees, flowering
plants, breathtaking sunsets, bright blue tanks, 25-meter pool,
and Texas hospitality greet guests.
Originally
the property, which is located ¼ mile south of the Island's
Queen Isabella Causeway, was a 14.57 acre property eyesore.
Over the years the area was filled with unauthorized above and below
ground utility lines, two semi-abandoned 330,000 gallon water storage
tanks (see above), a 50'x50' concrete cistern, and dredge (spoil)
fill for the old Queen Isabella Causeway.
To
reclaim the land, the visionary partners had what seemed at times
a monumental task of coordination, permitting, analysis and ultimately
removal. There were twenty-five overhead electrical poles and overhead
lines to remove. Followed by hauling off tens of thousands of yards
of bay bottom dredge, a mixture of wet clay and sand. Finally,
still remaining was the problem of two 330,000-gallon tanks, the
cistern, and accompanying pipes, valves, and out buildings.
The
tanks, cistern, and the facilities pump works were not removed but
renovated for current use. Tanks were redesigned to house
contemporary and functional offices, condominiums, laundry, bathrooms,
and recreation areas (see above). A pristine 25-meter pool
and hot tub are in the cistern and storage facilities are housed
in the old pump works. Added to this accomplishment is the
700' fishing pier located at the very end of the resort where FishBones
Pier and Grill is located.
From
environmental disaster to environmental success, DSP offers guests
the latest accommodations and service in a beautiful surrounding.
