It is a favorite place for a quick vacation for a family. We live three hours away, and it is easy to get there, has free fun down on the beach, and it's just a great relaxed lifestyle there.
During the week, it's quiet and laid back.
Port Aransas has been my home away from home for many years. Favorite restaurants are Seafood and Spaghetti Works, Fin's, Grumbles, Virginia's, and breakfast at San Juan's. Favorite night time fun was at Sip Yard, Bernie's, and Bier Hause. Great sushi at Blue Water Cowboy!
Close to everything in Port A!
Port A is the best place to visit when you need a quick getaway. It really feels like you are going far away but really it's only a few hours away for us. We go to Port A once a year. The people are friendly and the beach is awesome!
Fishing!
The City of Port A is great! Lots of things to do for the whole family.

Port Aransas is beautiful in it's own way. I thought it charming that people were going around in carts. We did things that were recommended by our waiters the evening before. It was great! Fun!
Good restaurants and lots of activities to do.

Very nice hotel.
The beach!
Close proximity for all your needs.
Easy access to beach.
So many good places to eat! I like that it is not a huge city so it's easy to get around. We enjoy the beach, it's always so clean. We really like the Art Center (to shop and just view) and the Botanical Gardens and Nature Center.
Fishing!
Room was spacious and comfortable! Staff was super friendly and helpful! Everything needed is just around the corner's food grocery beeches.
Clean beaches and very friendly people, good food and variety of restaurants.
That was my first time in the city. I really liked my visit. I plan to come back to take a fishing trip. I loved the restaurants and beach access. I loved my visit!
Clean beach!
I love how accessible everything is. Huge fan of the restaurants. I love Iris's Island Food. Some of the best food on the island! I also love how close everything is to the beach. I love and appreciate how the ferry runs at all times as well because we didn't get in until nearly 1:00am and left the next day on emergency at 11:00pm and we were quick on the ferry and out!
