Things to Do in Port Aransas for Large Groups
Go to the Beach
Nothing beats a day of sun, sand, and fun! When visiting Port Aransas, a beach day is necessary. From water activities like surfing, kayaking, and swimming to building sandcastles, catching up on your favorite read, and relaxing, the beach provides plenty of options for everyone. When you book a stay with Sandpiper, you won’t have to worry about parking as you’ll have easy access to the beach with the beach boardwalk.
Dolphin Cruises
For an exciting adventure, plan a group outing to see dolphins. The best way to see these Port A locals is with local tour guides. You’ll learn exciting facts about the local marine life and ecosystem that makes up Port Aransas while you’re taken out into the waters of the Gulf. Make sure your cameras are ready, as you’ll spot pods of dolphins playing and swimming alongside the boats. The most popular dolphin cruises are sunset cruises, so book early with Scarlet Lady Dolphin Adventures or Port Aransas Fisherman’s Wharf to secure your spot.
Fishing Charters
Fishing is a local’s favorite pastime here in Port Aransas. Known as the “Fishing Capital of Texas,” there’s no better place to charter a boat and cast a line. Catch big game fish like marlin, tuna, and wahoo on your offshore excursion, or book an inshore charter to take you in the shallow bays and estuaries off Mustang Island. If you prefer to stay close to land, pier and jetty fishing offer a perfect alternative for your group.
Visit the USS Lexington Museum
Located in nearby Corpus Christi, just a short drive from Port Aransas, the USS Lexington Museum on the Bay is a must-see attraction for history buffs and families. This historic World War II aircraft carrier has been converted into a floating museum with interactive exhibits, including a flight deck, flight simulator, Pearl Harbor exhibit, and scale models.
