Port AransasMustang Island's drive-on Gulf beaches, the Lydia Ann Lighthouse, and the Texas State Aquarium across the Lydia Ann Channel

Port Aransas sits at the northern tip of Mustang Island, reachable by the free Port Aransas Ferry from Aransas Pass or by Highway 361 from Corpus Christi. The 18-mile barrier-island runs south from the jetties at the channel's edge to Mustang Island State Park, with drive-on beach access on most stretches — locals park trucks on the sand with the windows down and a pole in the holder. The 1857 Lydia Ann Lighthouse marks the Lydia Ann Channel; the downtown Marina anchors the charter-fishing fleet; the spring whooping-crane migration brings birders to Aransas National Wildlife Refuge across the channel.

Our Port Aransas inventory clusters at Beachgate Condo Suites and Hotel — a five-building beachfront resort with 70+ rentals across studios, hotel-style queen rooms, motel-efficiency units, and full 2- and 3- and 4-bedroom condos. Three pools (one heated with a connecting hot tub), a private gated beach driveway, shuffleboard, fire pits, fish-cleaning house, and free parking — all with direct Mustang Island Gulf-front access.
