			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On the morning of June 1, 2010, behind the La Quinta Inn &#038; Suites on South Padre Island, Texas. Our efforts to prevent beach erosion have worked. A couple of weeks ago, we reported on EnjoySPI.com that we were working diligently to clean the sargassum (commonly known as sea weed) from the shore, and stack it up in rows along our sea wall, in order to trap sand and form dunes. If this works, which it has been thus far, it will provide an example of how local beach front businesses can do their part to prevent beach erosion and preserve our precious beach, which hundreds of thousands of visitors from around the world enjoy year after year.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Every morning about this time of the year, South Padre Island beaches are covered in <strong>sargassum</strong> (commonly known as <strong>seaweed</strong>) washed up onto the beach overnight from the gulf. If this sargassum is not collected, it is simply washed away the next night, and replaced by more the following morning. The staff of the La Quinta Inn &amp; Suites has now taken the initiative of collecting the sargassum from the waterfront adjacent to their hotel and forming small piles along their sea wall. This allows for small sand dunes to form directly behind their hotel, ultimately slowing the sand erosion that has been gradually reducing the size of Gulf Beaches year after year.</p>

<p><em>The Travel Channel</em> called Coca-Cola Beach on South Padre Island “The largest beach party on the planet.” Rolling Stone said it’s “the place to be during the day.” Spring Breakers from across the U.S. have enjoyed Coca-Cola Beach for the past 15 years.</p>
<p>Located on the South Beach, Coca-Cola Beach is open daily March 7 &#8211; 23, 2010 from 11 a.m. &#8211; 5 p.m. offering:</p>
<p>Non-stop action with heart-thumping music fueled by a 50,000 watt sound system, the hottest DJs, contests, giveaways and more</p>
<p>Free entertainment with a chance to win thousands of prizes</p>
<p>Security is a top priority as Coca-Cola partners with South Padre Island Police Department and South Padre CVB to ensure a fun, safe environment.</p>
<p>You can lie on a beach anywhere. But there’s nothing else like Coca-Cola Beach.</p>
