Things To Do at Texas SandFest

You’ve probably never dreamed that one day you’d be headed to the Port Aransas beach to see people carve majestic works of art right in front of your eyes out of small grains of sand. With towering sculptures ahead of you, you’ll also fall in love with crowd favorite food stands, drinks, and one-of-a-kind souvenirs to buy on the beach.

The Texas SandFest in Port Aransas, the only festival on the beach in Port Aransas, also offers lots of great attractions to fill your day of fun in the sun and sand. You can take a crack at learning how to build your own sandcastles, enjoy many kid-friendly activities, and dance your worries away on the sand as the line-up of great musical acts awaits.
