Salty Stories
The island life of Port Aransas has a personality all its own. The clock ticks a bit slower, the seaworn wood you see isn’t artificial, and the people you meet aren’t reading from a script. The locals call this convergence of authentic Port A character and culture “salty.”
Meet some of the people who continue to make Port Aransas more than a beach destination.
This is their island, and these are their Salty Stories.
There are endless stories to tell and characters to meet in Port Aransas. Go ahead—sip your way into the slow life with Vida Caña Rum. Get a warm Italian welcome from Linda Halioua of Venetian Hot Plate. And hear how the island life inspires musicians to make Port A a bit saltier.
The latest edition of Salty Stories is coming soon.
