Many visit Port Aransas during the summer for the fun beach experience and family fun. Many families miss out on the Spring

fun that is in Port Aransas because it’s believed that crazy Spring Breakers is what Port A is all about. While we love Spring Break, it’s not because of the heavy drinking and crazy parties. Spring Break in Port Aransas is all about family fun under the sun.
