We enjoyed a week in Port Aransas. Despite fog, light rain, and cool days we enjoyed the time on the beach. Plan to take beach cars and rent a dune buggy! more »

What an amazing day at the beach. The closest people were 200 yards away. The beach was clean and well maintained. I don't know what you could add to have made it any better. more »

It's been a while coming to Port Aransas but it's actually pretty fun and peaceful. It's windy and sunny feeling like fall season. Enjoying the sounds of the ocean.
