Sun, Sand & Gulf Water
The Port Aransas coast offers expansive Gulf shoreline, warm coastal waters, natural dunes, and space for both active beach days and quiet moments beside the sea.
Enjoy the open shoreline of Mustang Island, where each beach day can be as active or relaxed as you choose. Swim in the Gulf, search for shells, build sandcastles, enjoy a picnic, take family photographs, or settle into the sand and listen to the waves.
Experience a more natural side of Mustang Island at the state park. Its protected coastal setting offers opportunities for Gulf recreation, fishing, paddling, birdwatching, picnicking, and exploring the barrier-island environment.
Some days call for surf and activity. Others are better suited to a chair in the sand, a family picnic, or an evening walk as the sun begins to set. The Port Aransas coast gives residents and visitors the freedom to create their own island traditions.
From the shoreline, the rest of Port Aransas is close at hand — charters and cruises, paddling waters, birding boardwalks, and the island’s cultural landmarks.
