Beaches
See all →I.B. Magee Beach Park
A county beach park at the top of the island — calmer water near the jetty, the fishing pier, restrooms and camping all in one spot.
Port Aransas Beach
Port Aransas's main event — a wide, drive-on Gulf beach where you can park right at your spot. Permit required; bring it before you go.
Attractions
See all →Joan & Scott Holt Paradise Pond
A small freshwater pond that punches far above its size — one of the Texas coast's celebrated migrant-bird traps. Free, with a boardwalk.
Mustang Island State Park
A Texas state park with five miles of natural Gulf beach, camping and a paddling trail — the wild, uncrowded side of Mustang Island.
Port Aransas Nature Preserve at Charlie's Pasture
A free city nature preserve of boardwalks and trails through tidal flats and wetlands — Port A's best easy-access birding.
San Jose Island
An undeveloped private island reachable only by the jetty boat — empty beaches, great shelling and fishing, and no facilities at all.
