The postcard describes the Queen Isabella Causeway, a bridge that connects Port Isabel with South Padre Island in Texas. The bridge stretches over 2 miles and rises about 85 feet above the Laguna Madre. It is named after Queen Isabella, a 15th-century Spanish queen, and replaced a smaller bridge built in 1954. Travelers crossing the bridge are greeted by the Historic Port Isabel Lighthouse at the mainland entrance.
