Port Aransas, Texas: Sunny Beach Town with
Excellent Fishing
Port Aransas is located at the northern end of Mustang Island, a
narrow landmass that stretches for 18 miles off the Gulf Coast in Texas. The
area gets frequent sunshine and is lined with sparsely populated public
beaches, and it’s become popular with spring-breaking college students. They
frequent the beachside clubs and bars, or rent kayaks and surfboards to paddle
through the waves.
Fishing is a major pastime here; more than 20 fishing
tournaments are based in Port Aransas, and you can catch tuna, kingfish, and
marlin out on the water as dolphins jump nearby. When you return to land, bring
your catch to one of the island eateries and they’ll often grill it for you on
the spot.
There are 1,200 acres of tidal flats and undeveloped shore land
to explore at the Port Aransas
Nature Preserve, which features three miles of hiking and biking
trails and boardwalks. Head up to one of the lookout towers and you can often
spot rare and endangered birds such as the Piping Plover, a stout shorebird
with an appetite for crustaceans.
