Splash Into a Good Time:
Lets face it, the Gulf of Mexico is what initially attracted you to Port Aransas, it would be silly to start with anything but the enticing Gulf waters. So pack up that beach towel and sun screen and get to the sand. Whether you are walking down to the beach in front of your beachfront Port Aransas vacation rental or want to take a trip to one of our recommended beach locations you are sure to make some incredible memories. If you have planned enough time in your trip, take a short drive to the Padre Island National Seashore and explore “Little Shell”. Little Shell gets its name from its unique beaches, as you enter Little Shell you are no longer walking along sandy waterline, but instead your feet walk on top of millions upon millions of tiny shells. It truly is a beautiful scene.
Get Energized –
Start your morning off with a little Island caffeination. A few options to choose from, our local favorites include Coffee Waves and Coastal Beans.
