Plan to Pack Light
One of our favorite parts of summer travel is how light our bags will be; summer clothes are just lighter and take up less space in our suitcases. A summer beach vacation requires even less to pack, especially as our vacation escapes sit right on the beach and you will find yourself reluctant to leave the sand for long stretches of time. Pack a few swimsuits, some shorts and tees, and flipflops. No one should be wearing shoes and socks at the beach, even when exploring the town that the beaches frame and if you feel you must have at least one pair of going out shoes, let us remind you that Port A is a laidback and casual place and those bejeweled flip flops work just perfectly as fancy shoes!
Plan on Beach Days and Nights
We’re not even going to try and pretend that the beach isn’t your main reason for visiting our barrier island town. White sands so pristine and bright you will need to wear sunglasses against the glare, blue waters that are warm and inviting, encouraging wading, swimming, snorkeling and so much more. Surfing is popular in this part of the world, and although our waves may not reach Hawaii or Florida levels, your Port Aransas vacation really would be the perfect time to pick up the sport, with Texas Surf Camps, providing the education you need to hang 10. And even as you know you will spend much of your day playing in our giant sandbox, don’t be surprised when the sea calls you back after the sun has set, adding a romantic moonlit stroll to the long list of vacation activities you can plan on enjoying during your summer vacation to Port Aransas!
Plan on Feeding Your Soul
Vacation meals are the best and Port Aransas offers a large selection of restaurants that are sure to fill your belly while feeding your soul. The waterfront views at FINS Grill and Icehouse, 420 W Cotter, will speak to your heart as you mull over the offerings on a menu filled with surf, turf, and everything in between. Starting each day with a hearty breakfast at the long-standing Island Café on Alister St., will ensure that you will have all the energy you need to ride the waves during your surfing adventures, and when you get a hankering for some authentic Mexican dishes, La Playa Mexican Grille, located at 222 Beach Street #5312, will never let you down! Your epicurean adventures are sure to be even better than you dreamed when you follow the suggestions we offer here.
