What is it about the end of one year and the beginning of the next that makes us want to try and improve ourselves? We make resolutions to exercise more, eat less, and work harder, and within a few short weeks, we tend to break them. We at PortAransas-Texas.com think that this year should be when you make resolutions you will be inclined to follow! Eat well, sleep more, and make your most important resolution be the one where you resolve to travel to Port Aransas, perhaps even before 2024 relinquishes its hold on you, especially when you choose one of our holiday hideaways.
The Siren Call of the Sea
As you have moved at full speed throughout the Christmas season, there has probably been joy, excitement, and fun, but one thing that is rarely enjoyed is serenity. There is too much to do, too little time to do it in, and far too much money being spent to feel peaceful or serene, but the beaches of Port Aransas offer a plethora of both. There is no better way to quiet the noises in your brain than with a walk along shore’s edge on a cool and windy December day; soothing the tattered edges of your frazzled soul is something that comes easily at the beach. The excited squawking of seagulls diving in for food, the laughter of happy children wading in waters that are too cold for swimming this late in the year, but are still fun to splash around in, and the feel of soft sand squishing between your toes. THIS is your reward for all the crazy you experienced during the Christmas season, and although your travel to Port A could take place at any time in the next 12 months, celebrating 2025 here first will make all the difference.
Travel to Port Aransas to Celebrate Christmas in January
In spite of all the chaos, there are some people who aren’t ready for Christmas to end, wanting to continue the celebration on December 26th and beyond, and if you are one of those people, Roberts Point Park is where you should go to continue your celebration. Considered the center point of celebrations, guests can drive through the holiday light display known as Nautical & Nice, pose for pictures in front of the city tree, or add a whimsical touch to the photos you post on your favorite social network site after a visit to our Sand Santa. The most talented sand sculptors in the world get together every year and create a new version of Santa, carved from sand and water and bringing laughter to all who pose with him. At home, smart TVs allow you to continue streaming your favorite Christmas movies, and hot cocoa, that one beverage that singlehandedly represents the holiday, can still be prepared in our fully equipped kitchens. Christmas lingers in Port Aransas and you can take joy in the experience.
The Difference Is Clear
It is only one word but the difference between eating well and eating better is a huge one, with the former being what we think you should aim for. A fine meal on a beautiful evening is the ultimate in luxury and when you choose to dine at The Phoenix Restaurant & Bar, 3500-A Island Moorings Parkway, you will understand the difference. Offering a menu filled with seafood favorites, much having been harvested from the waters that surround us, its beer, wine, and cocktail menu will never let you down. Sit at a table on the patio and watch the final sunset of the year, sipping a fine wine, enjoying the company of the one you are going to kiss after midnight, and letting all the stresses of 2024 fall away from your shoulders.
The Big Booms
The Port Aransas fireworks show brings us back to Roberts Point Park, assuming you ever left it in the first place, held every year on December 31st. Even better, it takes up just an hour of your night, starting at 7 PM and ending at 8 PM, so viewers can end the last night of 2024 on their own terms, either by celebrating at some of our local hot spots until the new year begins or by heading home to the comfort and luxury offered in our holiday hideaways. Doubling your pleasure, the colorful explosions in the sky will be reflected in the water’s below, perhaps making it difficult to decide whether you should look up or look down. 2024 was what it was and 2025 will be what you make it, starting with this fun fireworks show in Port Aransas.
