Port Aransas—past and present
The rich maritime history of Port Aransas is symbolized by the historic Lydia Ann Lighthouse. A pleasant stroll to this iconic landmark offers panoramic views over Corpus Christi Bay.

The wild side of Port Aransas
Mustang Island State Park covers the southern part of the island and provides a protected environment for indigenous wildlife. This unspoiled sandbar is home to many species of rodent, including pocket gophers and cotton rats, as well as small mammals such as raccoons, skunks, and coyotes. Bird-watchers are drawn to the shoreline by the rich abundance of waterfowl and migrating songbirds. A peaceful way to explore the wetland is to follow the network of paddling trails in a kayak, which can be rented from various outlets.
