Address:Port Aransas, Texas
Sink your toes into pure white sand at San Jose Island's Port Aransas Beach. One of Texas' premier beaches, Port Aransas is a beach bum's dream come true. It's got everything a fine summer's day could offer: clean sand, sparkling blue green waters, surfing, sailing, fishing, and bird watching, all in the serene setting of the Texas gulf coast!
The waters are teeming with activity at Port Aransas Beach and vacationers are encouraged to get out on the water as much as possible. From ferry rides to other beaches, to deep sea fishing (where you'll find tuna, trout, red fish and more!), to special cruises that will take your breath away, Port Aransas Beach will not disappoint even the most adventure driven beach-goer.
If beachcombing is your beach activity of choice, you may not find exactly what your looking for on Port Aransas Beach, so take advantage of the sea taxi service and pop over to San Jose Island where you'll find shells of all shapes and sizes – even sand dollars! And keep your eyes peeled along the way for ocean bird life, including sea gulls and pelicans!
Need a break from the hot sun? Corpus Christi is just a few miles drive away and offers fantastic shopping, dining, and activities that the whole family will love, such as a visit to the Texas State Aquarium or the Lexington Air Craft Carrier Museum.
