Harlingen is 40 mins from South Padre Island whis was recently rated the 5th best beach in the continental US. It's clean (the beach and the water) and it's almost never crowded.
People are nice, helpful. In Harlingen it's 70% Hispanic. Cost of living is cheap.
CLimate is subtropical, hot, dry summers with humidity. In winter it freezes only maybe every 10yrs. It's comparable to south Florida, but we get most of our rain in the wintertime and fall, but we get about half of the amount.
You get a Southwestern feel mixed with the tropics. SO if you can't make up your mind, you can get both. And only here.
