Cinnamon Shore has multiple pools for guests to use. Their newest addition, the Splish Splash Family Fun Pool, invites families to splash and play together.

Cinnamon Shore’s number one amenity is the beachfront access.

These sturdy walkways provide private beach access for all guests at Cinnamon Shore and they make great spots for memorable photos of your stay. 

Cinnamon Shore also offers valet chairs and umbrellas set up for you and your family so that you can sit back and relax without the stress of bringing chairs and umbrellas. The valet chairs and umbrellas include two chairs and one of their iconic orange and white stripped umbrellas. Each day during your stay, you can show up to the beach when you are ready and it will be set up next to a plaque with your name. Then, it will be cleaned up. 

Cinnamon Shore is catered to families with kids. With everything from movies on the lawn to sandcastle lessons, you can always find something to keep your kids happy if they need a break from the beach or pools. During the day, Bay fishing, offshore fishing, and fishing on the Cinnamon Shore lakes are all options if you are looking to catch some fish. Whether you are a beginner or a pro, it’s a great activity for your family. 

Are you looking for something more unique? Cinnamon Shore has horseback riding on the beach available for your family. Amble along at sunset at the water's edge and experience the beach in a new way.  Children must be ages eight and up to ride, but this adventure offers supervised rides along a coastal trail that leads to the beach. It's about a 20-minute drive from Cinnamon Shore, just a few miles off Mustang Island on South Padre Island Drive. 

During busy seasons, ​​a giant screen showcases family-friendly flicks in the Town Center for movie nights on the lawn. C Treats, housed in a gleaming Airstream trailer, often sells snacks and ice cream during movie nights. Cinnamon Shore also offers live outdoor music beginning at the start of spring break and throughout the busy season, as well as at the fall's Beachtoberfest music festival, Port A Live. Here,  there's all sorts of musical acts playing on our outdoor stage: Terry's Place on the Town Center. 

During nights starting at spring break through the end of the summer, a fire pit is set up for kids and their families to gather around the flame for an old-fashioned marshmallow roast. Secure that melted morsel atop a chocolate bar and between the graham crackers, and you have the recipe for memories your kids will savor.
