This island off the coast of Texas is 34 miles long but only a half a mile wide, meaning the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico or Laguna Madre Bay are always accessible. The year-round tropical climate and abundance of activities, including water sports, fishing, and diving make it a popular destination all year round. College kids come here on spring break, couples come to get married or honeymoon and families come with their kids. The adventurous can try flyboarding, kitesurfing, tandem-skydiving or jet skiing, among other activities, while those looking for a more relaxing experience enjoy the wildlife refuge, nature center, or private sandcastle lessons.

Located on the southern end of Mustang Island within Nueces County on the Gulf Coast of Texas, Port Aransas Beach is a six-mile-long and wide beige sand beach. The beach is positioned on a natural barrier island along the Texas coastline. Port Aransas Beach has a beautiful backdrop of many oceanfront buildings, including houses, shops, restaurants, and nearby condominiums, which together provide Instagram-worthy views of the Gulf of Mexico, the Lydia Ann Ship Channel, and the Corpus Christi Ship Channel. The beach has a long jetty built with many large boulders and rocks to form a protective barrier for Port Aransas against strong waves and tidal currents to control erosion.
