Two minutes
off the sand.

We're tucked inside Island Arcade on Padre Boulevard — the main drag through South Padre. If you can find the arcade, you've found us.

How to find us

Three steps. Most people who've never been do this in under two minutes.

01

Drive Padre Boulevard

The main drag. If you came off Queen Isabella Causeway and you're heading north, you're already on it.

02

Spot the arcade

Look for the Island Arcade sign on the strip. Free lot in front. If you've parked there for Skee-Ball before, you've parked for us.

03

Walk in sweet

We're right inside — candy wall on one side, ice cream counter on the other. No line for an arcade ticket. Just walk in.

What's inside

The Candy Wall

20+ bulk bins by the pound. Shell gummies, burger gummies, sour worms, rock candy. Dubai chocolate and freeze-dried Skittles when we have them.

The Ice Cream Case

Hand-scooped Hershey's. Hand-dipped waffle cones. Seven rotating Ice Cream Factory pint flavors — small-batch premium.

The Counter Build

$9.99 and $12.99 banana splits. Frappes. Milkshakes. Hand-dipped chocolate pretzel rods made right at the counter.

Good to know

Bring cash or card

Both work. Tap, swipe, cash — whatever's easiest.

Family-friendly

Designed for after-beach kids. Stroller-friendly. Arcade next door if anyone needs to burn off the sugar.

Late-night

We stay open later than the gas station candy section. Most evenings you can swing by after dinner and we're still scooping.

Group / party orders

Bringing 10+? Pretzel rod platters and bulk-bin trays can be pre-built. Just ask at the counter or call ahead.

See you at the counter.
