Port Aransas has become a beach vacay A-lister for its abundance of ways to have fun. This classic Texas Gulf Coast beach has seen a jump in visits from vacationers as well as beach-home buyers from all around North America.
Here, people travel by golf cart on roads and the beach and wave "hello" to passersby. "People choose us as an authentic small beach town," said former mayor and Port Aransas Realty broker Keith McMullin. "You can get around on bicycles and golf carts; it has always been a fun little town."
Where is Port Aransas?
Port Aransas occupies much of Mustang Island, among a chain of barrier islands along the Texas Gulf Coast. Running 18 miles north to south, the island's only city is Port Aransas. The island's sand dunes, some 30 feet, shelter vegetation and wildlife. Port A is 35 minutes from Corpus Christi International Airport.
