The eighteen miles of uninterrupted public beach are a major draw to Port Aransas. Those sandy shores are responsible for countless hours of family fun. Sometimes, though, you want your swim to be sandless and saltless, and for that, there are pools! Here are seven of the coolest pools on Mustang Island. In these pools, you can swim your laps for exercise, lounge in the shallow end, or simply dangle your legs over the side for a quick dip. The best part? They’re all available for you to enjoy on your next stay in Port A!

 First up on the cool countdown is the pool at The Tipsy Pelican from Port A Coastal Getaway. This house boasts a large private pool and palapa for your enjoyment after a fun day in the sun. The Tipsy Pelican is a cozy home just steps from all of the activities in Port A!
