We are new boaters, and we are super excited. What is the top boating etiquette tip we should know before we head out to South Padre Island and put our boat in at the bay?

Boating at South Padre Island is so much fun! The top boating etiquette tip that everyone should follow is about your boat speed Remember that you should slow your speed to reduce your wake when approaching another boat or when you are close to the land Happy boating!

After spending the day out at the beach, we love to drive to our favorite restaurant for dinner. Is it ok to wear our bathing suits inside the restaurant? Sometimes, I feel weird about it.

Beach time is the best time! When it comes to going from the beach to a restaurant, I think it is ok to wear your bathing suit but take some sort of cover-up A dress or shorts and a shirt would work well as a cover-up Also, remember to wash off all the sand from your clothes, shoes, bags, etc , before going inside the restaurant

When it comes to music in public places, be courteous Sound amplifies over a body of water, so keep music levels down Your taste in music may not be what your neighbors enjoy .
