Who we are

Harlingen is proud of its natural resources, surrounded by neighborhood parks and nature reserves. With our own international airport we offer easy access to tropical pleasures. In appreciation of the many avian beauties that visit the area during their spring and fall migration, the Great Kiskadee has been adopted as its official bird. Just a short drive and you can enjoy a walk along the sandy beaches of South Padre Island or a margarita in old Mexico. Come to Harlingen where warm hospitality awaits you!
