Padre Islanders use a phrase that denotes a state-of-mind as much as a geographic location:  “Over the Bridge…(O.T.B.)"

That bridge spans the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway and, along with the JFK Causeway, the Laguna Madre, which separates Padre Island from the mainland in Corpus Christi, Texas.

Islanders appreciate the amenities afforded by both sides of the bridge, but have “voted with their feet” regarding their preference.

A planned urban development begun in the late 1960s has become a place unlike anywhere else.  We will understand if you become as infatuated with Padre Island as we are.

Fortunately, we still have room for new neighbors, and we welcome them warmly.  Enjoy our island home, and let me know if I can be of service.
