~Known to casual and serious anglers alike as the "fishing capital of Texas," Port Aransas offers challenges and a string of rewards for everyone who casts a line. Anglers of all ages will find their own paradise in Port "A". Take your pick from numerous experienced guides or charters, or go it alone. Bring your own boat and launch it in one of our marinas. In addition, there are four lighted piers to fish from day or night - and don't forget the jetties and surf-fishing on the beach!  Catching limits of redfish, flounder, black drum and trout are common place in these waters.

~Beach, Sun, Family Fun! Port Aransas is an island paradise tucked away on the Gulf Coast. Soak up the natural serenity or take it to extremes in the surf and seas. Come try a little bit of everything for a big lot of fun!  Sightsee from a private plane or a scenic cruise to view neighboring islands and the Lydia Ann Lighthouse. Take in a Community Theatre production, visit the University of Texas Marine Science Institute or birdwatch at our many birding sites. Finish off the night with delicious dining and dance the night away to local music. Port Aransas is the perfect place for beach, sun and family fun Island Style!
