With a white sandy beach and turquoise waters, it's easy to forget you're not actually on a Caribbean island. Its small size makes for an easy walk or bike ride to anywhere you need to go, and the local culture's number 1 priority is taking it easy and enjoying the beach. Opt for a Port Aransas vacation rental situated right on the Gulf, and start each day with a sunrise you'll never forget.

If nightlife is more your scene, spend your evenings barhopping, seeking out live music at some of the hotspots downtown. Loop back to your Port Aransas vacation rental for a nightcap and some prime stargazing over the Gulf.
