What guests ask before they book. If your question isn’t here, call the front desk.

  • Is La Copa Inn right on the beach?

    Yes. La Copa Inn Beach Hotel is beachfront at 350 Padre Blvd., South Padre Island. A boardwalk runs from the pool deck over the dunes to the sand, and umbrella and chair rentals are waiting: book them at the front desk, and in peak season a beach attendant is on the sand every day. Beach towels are sold in the gift shop.

    Deals and the book-direct promise
  • Which airport is closest?

    The nearest airports are Brownsville (BRO), about 35 minutes away, and Harlingen (HRL), about 55 minutes. From either, cross the Queen Isabella Causeway onto the island; we’re on Padre Blvd., near the south end of the island, right on the beach.

    Directions and parking
  • Do you have accessible rooms?

    Yes. Accessible rooms are close to the elevators, with Braille room numbers, an accessible bathroom, grab bars next to the lavatory and tub, an in-tub seat and a shower head extension. Around the hotel: accessible parking near the entrance, an automatic sliding door, an accessible check-in station, a pool lift and automatic elevators. Room requests like a ground floor or a room near the elevator go on your reservation; we fill them when we can, but can’t guarantee a floor or room number. Features vary by room, so call us and we’ll go over what you need.
