Port Aransas
18 miles of uninterrupted beach
Some have referred to the coastal area in and around Port Aransas as the “Texas Riviera”. This spirit is captured for families and friends in the restaurants, art, music and festivals that are and occur in and around Port Aransas throughout the year. Southern Living magazine describes Port Aransas as “18 miles of uninterrupted beach, spectacular fishing, and casual restaurants where flip-flops are welcome and the seafood on your plate was likely caught that morning”.
