There are many reasons you may have chosen Port Aransas for your vacation destination, including its seafood that has been freshly harvested from the waters that surround us and the shops that line the streets of town offering beautiful gifts and souvenirs that will serve as a wonderful reminder of your trip of a lifetime. But the main reason you find yourself standing at the door of our PortAransas-Texas.com vacation retreats is more than likely the white sand beaches that frame the turquoise waters of the Gulf to perfection. You seek the serenity of the sea, the brightness of the sun, and the perfect Port Aransas beach weekend from our island town, and this guide will ensure that you get everything you dreamed of and more.
Choose Our Beachy Retreats
Your beach weekend starts before you actually get into the state, or at least planning the most important part does. You want—no, need—to choose one of our Port A escapes that rest on white sand beaches. All of our properties shine bright, but when focused on sand and surf, you never want to be far from it, and if you can peek out the window on a clear day, almost to reassure yourself that the Gulf is still there, open windows and hear the crashing of the waves, or sit out on balconies that overlook the serenity of the sea, feeling salt air breezes tousle your hair and kiss your cheeks, the perfect beach weekend will last from the moment you check in until you oh so sadly have to check out at the end of your stay.
The Perfect Beach Weekend Starts with the Perfect Sunrise
First of all, let us say we won’t expect you to watch the sunrise every morning, but at least one morning of your weekend of wow should experience the sun rising over the Gulf. Wake up early and step through the sliding doors that lead out to the currently dark patio to see the first glimmers of the sky lightening, and hear the roar of the surf below you. You’ll feel like you are the only person in the world (unless you are sharing this moment with your favorite traveling partner) as you watch the world come awake around you in a cornucopia of fiery color; this will be the first of many moments you will remember forever.
The Moment You Have Been Waiting For
Maybe you will go back to bed for a couple more hours, or maybe you will head to the kitchen to scramble some eggs and make some toast, but now, after all the weeks of planning, all the years of dreaming, it is time to head to the beach. Many of our beach retreats will offer a selection of beach gear, including umbrellas, chairs, coolers, and beach towels, and as you pack it all up, slip into your flip flops and beach cover-up, it will be time to bury your toes in the sand.
A day on the beaches of Port Aransas will be one filled with relaxation as you sit under colorful umbrellas sipping from your Stanley and immerse yourself in the laughter of happy children, the squawks of seabirds seeking their meals, and of course, the sounds of waves crashing on the sand. It can also be filled with the feel of powerful engines as you skim across the water on jet skis, or with the views of sand, sea, and your surroundings as you fly through the air tethered to boat below and parasail above. Your beach weekend is meant to be lived your way!
Beach Meals to Remember
Being reluctant to leave the spot you staked your claim on, lunch may be sandwiches packed in the cooler, and we promise that a ham sandwich devoured as you stare out at the Gulf of Mexico will taste like a gourmet meal, but when dinner comes, it doesn’t mean you have to give up your views. Your best seaside meal may be one you can enjoy on the sand, as Rollin’ Tide Boil Co brings a shrimp boil experience to your piece of paradise, including the ultimate in beach experiences as part of the adventure, a bonfire on the beach. They even provide colorful Adirondack chairs, offering wide arms that give some place other than your lap or the sand to rest your meal and beverage between bites and sips. Some beach weekends are a celebration of a milestone birthday or anniversary, and one of our favorite special occasion restaurants, Virginia’s on the Bay, 815 Trout Street, offers harbor views, fresh seafood, and an elevated dining experience that will be memorable.
