    We live in the Texas Hill Country and typically go to Galveston for a TX beach.. but I've heard Port A is closer plus it shouls be fun to explore, based on your totally cool lens.

    I love to travel and I'm traveling on a Giant Squid Angel Road Trip for Memorial Day weekend that brought me to this lens. Leaving you with a Squid Blessing. I created a featured lens module for my Memorial Day journey at My Squid Angel Wings and have added this lens.

    Every time I visit it is always do to working offshore. Looks nice from the pictures you posted from around town and the beaches. Nice to see it in the day.

    Yikes! Jellyfish stings scare me and I hope I never experience one. I thought the Aransas was a misspell too. Well done lens and blessed by a Squid Angel today!

    Living in Arkansas, I always do a double take when I see the name Port Aransas. Nice to know for sure how it's pronounced. I've never been there, but I love the webcam pictures. We used to live in Virginia Beach and I still miss the beach, so I really enjoyed this lens.
  • Pixelrage Sep 28, 2010 @ 10:19 pm | delete
    So many great resources here. I love your usage of an icon within the header of each lens - very eye appealing :)

    This is a great lens on Port A! That first pic from the Dunes Condo. web cam is fantastic!! I just want to walk out onto that beach and jump in. The water looks amazing... I always forget how pretty it is in south Texas.

    Very nice overview of Port Aransas. I'll lensroll it to my lens on Seadrift, (just up the way).

    So many good memories you have brought back. We hope the oil spill in the gulf doesn't come our way.

    We're going down there for Sandfest. Can't wait to get back to Port A.

    We love Port Aransas. Living in Dallas with family in Corpus Christi, we visit as often as we can. The best fried gulf shrimp can be found at Pelicans Landing!
  • CraigMiller Jan 24, 2010 @ 12:30 am | delete
    What a GREAT lens!! I lived in Corpus for 5 years and loved it. Your lens brought back a ton of memories. Aransas rhymes with Kansas not Arkansas, was cute...5 stars!!!

    I grew up going to Port A, Rockport, Port Lavaca, Corpus,Galveston, Matagorda, So Padre and a few others....This was a trip down memory lane and a great idea!

  • Demaw Jan 14, 2010 @ 9:26 am | delete
    Thanks for introducing us to this lovely place, are alligators only at the birding center or can they be seen other places?
  • JollyvilleChick Jan 15, 2010 @ 11:16 am | delete
    Demaw: The alligators in Port Aransas are only at the birding center. I don't think he wanders away.
  • Frankster Jan 9, 2010 @ 6:44 pm | delete
    Well detailed lens about Port Aransas, which I never heard of. Sounds like a nice place to visit. Bear hugs, Frankster
  • TheGreenerMe Jan 9, 2010 @ 1:33 pm | delete
    Wow! This is quite the resource about this town. I've always wondered what some of the beaches in Texas looked like. I'm sure it's much warmer there than in Massachusetts right now - wish I could spend a few days there!

    I was not familiar with Port Aransas at all so really learned a lot about this beautiful beach town through this lens.
  • debraanne Jan 2, 2010 @ 9:05 am | delete
    This makes me so homesick for the beach! I just moved to Austin from Galveston and I hate being landlocked! Thanks for the webcam pictures!
  • vallain Dec 25, 2009 @ 2:27 pm | delete
    Wow, you really covered Port Aransas pretty thoroughly. I made a lens for my aunt about Seadrift, TX which is pretty near to Port Aransas.

    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!

    I visit often and enjoy the fishing there. You've done a great job on the lens.

    To QB7: No you don't have to take a ferry to get to Port A! If you are on the north side, the ferry is convenient out of Aransas Pass. However, if you come from the south or want to not take the ferry go to SPID (South Padre Island Drive) on south side of Corpus and take a wonderful causeway (They've raised and widened it in the last 5 years.) to Mustang Island. You take a left on the island and have a very flat drive for 20 miles or so to Port A.

    I've vacationed in Port A for over 30 years; even lived there for a year and taught in Corpus. Will retire from teaching in Dallas ISD May 2010 and intend to live in Port A forever! I'm a beach bum at heart! The locals are wonderful! Oh, and let's not forget the wonderful restaurants, local drinking dives, and wonderful music especially at holidays! The fresh fish from the ocean is everywhere. A grill is a must! See y'all there! If anyone wants to contact me, I'm at portaransas2010@yahoo.com.

    This website is the best!!!

    This lens makes me homesick! My daughter lives in Port Aransas and my son-in-law works for Deep Sea! I have visited the island, and will someday live there when my caregiving duties in Michigan are over. You have a very detailed and complete lens here. What a great job.

    I've driven by on my way to Brownsvill. I will have to find time to stop next time.

    Nice Travel Site. I visited Beijing recently and set up a beijing related lens too. :)

    We were suggested to go to the beach there while staying at Corpus Christi a few years ago. we enjoyed our stay, as well as the sights around the beach community.

    Thanks for a good lens and the chance to remember.
  • JollyvilleChick Jul 10, 2008 @ 10:24 pm | delete
    I've seen the alligator on one of our visits to the birding center. We got really close and he was just laying there in the shallow water. His name is Boots.
  • beachbum_gabby Jul 9, 2008 @ 1:14 am | delete
    never been to this place but seems it's a great place for Alligator sight seeings.
  • QB 7 Jul 7, 2008 @ 8:13 pm | delete
    do you have to get there by ferry?
  • BigJim Jul 2, 2008 @ 11:24 am | delete
    Please come over and submit your lens to the Squidoo City Guide. Thanks.

    That oil rig stuff is really interesting. I had no idea!
