Salty Stories

The island town 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. Release a rehabilitated sea turtle with Alicia Walker and her team, create amazing sand sculptures with Mark Landrum, cast a line with deep sea fishing legend Dee Wallace, and catch a wave with Brittany and Magen.
