98. Shop Downtown Brownsville

Editor's Note: This is the third installment of the series titled: "Top 100 Things to do in the South Padre Island/Brownsville Area," a series designed to help the visitor get the full experience of this South Texas region.

98. Shop Downtown Brownsville


Brownsville is not even a two-minute walk to Mexico and that is reflected in the many wares in its downtown area. Strong, vibrant colors dictate most of what you see on the main street, Elizabeth Street, only a stone's throw from Mexico.



You will be amazed at the incredible bargain prices and the rarity of some of your finds. In this mecca for shoppers you will find tools, shoes, clothing, scarves, jewelry, designer bags and their imitations, sporting goods, dollar items, mopeds, too many items to list here.
















Only the seasoned shopper will know where to find stores like the one below where you can look like you spent a million bucks but literally spent only a few. All I am willing to divulge is that these stores are on Elizabeth Street. For specifics, you may PM the author.
