Or maybe you’re like me, and began as a consistent beach visitor that became a permanent second-homeowner and a semi-local.
Whatever the reason, you’ll soon discover what makes Port Aransas a relaxing getaway for so many and why most simply don’t want to leave.
From the outside looking in
Let’s face it, sometimes you need a visitor’s perspective to get to know the best of your city. I don’t live in Port Aransas, but a short 3 hours up the road in San Antonio.
That tourist outlook that makes you explore a new city is what I continually use to discover awesome local gems every time I’m in Port Aransas.

There’s more to explore in Port A
When I first visited Port Aransas, sixteen years ago, I was completely clueless. Other than the obvious road to the beach, I had no idea where to find cool things to do or the best place to take my family to eat.
I met a lot of people who had been here for much longer than me that were convinced that Port Aransas didn’t have much to offer beyond fishing, the sand and the sea.
And yet, as I started venturing around town, exploring the parks and marinas, visiting different restaurants and shops, I found that the notion that “all Port Aransas has to offer is the beach” proved to be hugely untrue. There’s so much out there to see, eat and explore on this island.
