Located on the northern tip of Mustang Island, Port Aransas is a hub of coastal activities and family fun on the Texas Coast. The bays, jetties and deep Gulf waters offer the finest fishing around. More than 500 species of birds visit annually, making us one of the most popular birding destinations on the continent.

Begin your day with a scenic stroll on the beach and relax to the rhythm of the waves. Watch dolphins frolic in the ship channel as the ferry transports you across the waterway to enjoy area sights. Ride the trolley and visit unique boutiques and art galleries filled with one-of-a-kind island treasures, home décor and island style clothing. And you'll still have time to relax and savor fresh, coastal cuisine at any of our fine restaurants before the breathtaking sunset signals the start of our island's tropical nightlife.
