Port Aransas is located on Mustang Island, which is located along the Gulf of Mexico. You’ll find miles, and miles, of sandy beaches just waiting to be explored by you. Whether you enjoy a leisurely stroll, go horseback riding or take a boat along the coast, you’ll love the natural scenery that abounds here. This ideal location makes it a haven for fishers. Whether you want to reel in a blue marlin, snapper, trout, tuna or whatever else you’re angling for, the waters here are teamed with fish just waiting for your bait.
You won’t be the only one keeping an eye open for the fish though. Port Aransas is a fantastic place to go birding and you’ll be able to see many different species that call this island home. Enjoy a boat tour of the deep, blue ocean and you might just catch a show by the local dolphins.
If you’re looking for a place to study, Port Aransas is also home to the University of Texas Marine Science Institute. The city streets are lined with great boutiques and stores so jump on the trolley and tour your way round town.
