The Beach at Port Aransas, Texas
Port Aransas is a beach town in Texas on the Gulf of Mexico. And just to make sure you're pronouncing it correctly, "Aransas" rhymes with Kansas, not Arkansas. The locals refer to it as "Port A".
The closest city is Corpus Christi, about an hour drive away. Port Aransas is on the northern tip of an island called "Mustang Island", so named after the mustang horses which used to inhabit the place.
Getting to the beach itself is very easy. There are several access roads that take you right to the sand. Regular vehicles can drive on the beach, although driving conditions vary. If it's rained recently, the sand is probably packed down pretty good, making beach driving fairly easy. If it's been a drive summer, the sand is loose and driving on the beach can be tenuous.
It's a great place for fishing, boating, shrimping, body surfing, building sand castles, beach combing, swimming, sunning, relaxing, exploring, golfing, bird watching, star gazing, walking, running and driving.

Red Tide hits the Gulf Coast
Mainly affecting South Padre but also Corpus Christi
From the Texas Parks and Wildlife website, October 22, 2009
"Aerosols have decreased today at Mustang Island State Park south of Port Aransas. Last night's high tide cleaned off the beaches a bit, pushing the dead fish from the shoreline back to the dunes. This morning fresh dead fish began washing ashore along the beaches, including finger mullet and small ladyfish; old dead fish that likely died offshore are washing in as well. A reddish foam can be seen in the surf but it is unclear whether this is due to the red tide." ...READ MORE...

This is NOT Port Aransas. It is South Padre Island, which is suffering the most from the red tide.

Beach Tourist Report
Weekend of December 6, 2008
This particular trip was a business trip, so I only spent a couple hours on the beach on Saturday afternoon.
First, I have to tell you that I was the only one wearing shorts and a tee shirt. Just about everyone else wore pants and either a long sleeve shirt or a jacket. I was barefoot and even let the water touch my ankles!
Seaweed - It figures that the only time there isn't seaweed is when it's too cold to really enjoy the beach. It didn't look like they scraped any away; it looked like none washed up.
Driving - There was a sign right at the end of Access Road 1A that said the driving conditions were poor. The sand did look soft, but I didn't see anyone having trouble driving. I didn't go south of Access Road 1A, so I don't know what the driving conditions further down were like.
Jellyfish - I saw quite a few of them but not enough to hinder my walking on the beach.
Water - It was a beautiful deep blue color and looked fairly clear. It was too cold for me to even think about swimming. Actually, it was pretty cold on my feet too, but once they got numb from the cold, I really didn't notice the temperature anymore.
"Winter Texans" are the folks who come down to Texas for the summer instead of staying in up in Wisconsin or New Jersey. They are the lucky ones.

Beach Tourist Report
Weekend of November 8 & 9, 2008
Autumn is a nice time to go to the beach. Here's my report for the beach when we were there the weekend of November 8 and 9.
First, it was very windy. The water temperature was reported to be 77 degrees (F) but it felt alot cooler. Maybe because the wind was so strong. Even though the water was choppy from the waves, it was very clear.
Second, the driving was very good. The sand is hard packed; there were only a few places where it was soft but our car had no problem getting past it.
Third, the seaweed was moderate. I know it's all subjective, so let me describe it like this. If you walked along the beach and did not want to step on seaweed, you had to watch your step. On the other hand, you didn't need to create a path to get from the sandy area to the water line. There didn't seem to be much seaweed in the water.
Jellyfish: there were jellyfish (cabbidge head) washed up on the beach. They don't sting but when I accidentally stepped on one I jumped a mile in the air.
Portugese Man-of-war (I call them "blue jellies"): There were a few of them washed up and since they DO sting, I was careful to avoid them. I think our dog felt a little sting because she kept licking her foot but there was no cut or sticker stuck on her.
Crowds: No crowds. That's one of the nice things about going to the beach in the fall.
Winds: Oh yeah, plenty of wind. I wore shorts and tee shirt but in the afternoon I had to put my sweatshirt on.
Sand dunes: The residual affects from Hurricanes Dolly and Ike did some damage to the dunes and the vegetation but they are still there.

...About Port Aransas, Texas
I have been visiting Port Aransas since 1984 when I moved to Texas. It's about a 4 hour drive from my house in central Texas. My husband and I like being on the beach and have never done the fishing thing that so many other Port Aransas visitors like to do. We drive onto the beach, set up our chairs and canopy, put on suntan lotion, test the waters, look for shells and sand dollars, watch people in the water and on the sand, watch the birds, play in the waves, have a drink, read a newspaper, do a puzzle book, take a nap...!In this lens, I'll highlight the good parts about Port Aransas and what to expect if you decide to go. But I'm not going to paint the rosy picture that the business owner's might portray, because no beach or beach town is flaw-free. We've been to some of the most beautiful beaches in the world and yet they have their issues too. The trick is for the beach town or village to have enough good things to outweigh the negative. We think Port Aransas does that, otherwise, we would not return as often as we do.
...2008 Beach Season is Open
May 9-12, 2008
I just returned from our first beach visit of the season and can report that Port Aransas is still a great beach to go to. Schools in Texas are out or almost out and the beach area is starting to fill up.
The best news I can report is that there is very little seaweed compared to last year. Last year, we had to dig a path through the seaweed just to get to the water, and once at the water's edge, you were still surrounded by seaweed. It's much nicer this year, though there's still those small pieces of seaweed floating around in the water.
We did see more jellyfish left on the shore by the waves. Only a few of the "blue bags" - the term I have given to the Portugese Man of War. Not much trash or tar on the beach.
Driving conditions were good, specifically between Access Road 1A and mile marker 40. We have a car and were not even concerned about getting stuck in the sand.
It was very windy this weekend, the water was choppy and murky. I'm not sure what the water temperature was but it's warm enough for swimming.
Another great weekend at the beach!

That thick line in the middle of the beach is parked cars. They park next to a series of short poles (to keep cars from getting closer to the water). You can see those same poles from the Sanddollar Sity Webcam. The link from the picture goes to a webcam from Sandollar Sity, which, if you have really sharp eyes, you could see in the upper of this photo just about where the width of the beach gets narrow.

Sargassum
Sargassum is a seaweed that floats along in huge clumps until it eventually makes landfall. The birds love to pick through it for some tasty snacks.
It's a very natural part of the beach experience.
It seemed to overtake the beach in 2005 making it really unpleasant.

- Ferry Cam, Harbor Island
- Ride the free ferry to Port Aransas
The ferry is run by the Texas Department of Transportation. It's free and operates 24/7. Each ferry holds about 20 vehicles, including cars, trucks, boat trailors, and RVs. You can stand out on the deck during the ride and feel the sun and breeze, watch for dolphins, and get some good panoramic views. It's the most common way for locals to get on and off the island. - Mustang Beach Airport (KRAS)
- The airport is at the intersection of Highway 361 and Access Road 1A. It's all private planes, so don't try looking for it on Priceline or Travelocity! Sometimes they offer helicopter rides - I'm not sure how much they cost or how long they last.

WHERE TO STAY in PORT ARANSAS, TX
Beach Lodging
Many choices await the beach tourist in Port Aransas. You can spend your beach vacation at a:
- Condo
- Hotel
- Beach House
- RV Park
...Beach Lodging
- The Courtyard
- FREE wireless. I have to be honest: it's semi-dependable. If you just want to check emails and some websites, it's fine. If you want to trade stocks, forget it.
- Efficiency and One-Bedroom Apartments. The efficiency has a murphy bed that pulls down into the living area. The one-bedrooms have a separate bedroom (with doors); some also have a murphy bed in the living area.
- Full size kitchens. Includes full-size stove/oven, microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator, and garbage disposal. Kitchens also have complete sets of dishes, cups, pots/pans. No baking pans, so if you want to make muffins or cup cakes, bring your own pan.
- Walk to the beach. It's about a 10-15 minute walk from the building to the beach. If I want to just go for a walk on the beach, I'll walk from The Courtyard to the beach via Access Road 1A. If I want to spend more time at the beach, then I'll pack up the car with my beach gear and drive down the beach and find a nice spot to spend the day.
- FREE wireless. I have to be honest: it's semi-dependable. If you just want to check emails and some websites, it's fine. If you want to trade stocks, forget it.
- On The Beach RV Park
- I've never stayed there (don't have an RV) but they advertise free wireless internet. I'm pretty sure that you can watch the beach waves from many of the sites.
- Cline's Landing
- Although I have driven past Cline's Landing many times, I have not stayed there so I can't give it a thumbs up or down. But, this website has a few pictures of the Port Aransas harbor and the Texas Treasure ship, so I've included it here for you.
...Stay at The Courtyard
Clean, Family Friendly FREE WI-FI
The Courtyard Condominium - Access Road 1AWe always ask to stay in a unit on the second floor near the pool. Our current favorite is room 203. It's a one-bedroom that overlooks the pool. It's close to the stairs (and your car) and close to the office which is where the wireless modem is.
Close to beach and airport
Next to golf course
FREE wireless internet service
All rooms have full size kitchens.
Efficiency has Murphy bed.
One-Bedroom has separate bedroom.
Pool and grounds well maintained.
Two story building.
No elevator, so if you have difficulty with stairs, be sure to ask for the first floor.
I don't know these people; I found their photos on Flickr and recognized that they were taken inside one of The Courtyard units. Click on the photo to see more of their "Port Aransas 10th Anniversary" photo album.

- I always check their weather and beach report before I go to Port Aransas.
Published Daily - Port Aransas South Jetty
- Great source for local news, property for sale, job openings, and more.
Published on Thursdays - Aransas Pass Progress
- Local newspaper for Aransas Pass.
Aransas Pass is northwest of Port Aransas. It's the little town you drive through on the way to the ferry.
We always stop at the HEB to pick up our weekend food. The IGA at Port Aransas is nice and convenient, but the HEB has a larger selection and lower prices. They also have good gas prices. - Rockport Pilot
- Rockport is north of Port Aransas.
It seems to cater to fishing activities more than the beach. - KRIS - NBC Affiliate

- Hi, I want to thank you for putting my web cams on your site. But, could you please change the location name for the beach cam, I moved it back during Sand Fest to a different spot, it is no longer at Sand Dollar,
Thanks!
