Outdoor Adventures
North Padre Island and Port Aransas are your gateway to a world of outdoor adventure on the Texas Gulf Coast. Your days here can be as relaxed or as lively as you want! The unspoiled beaches on North Padre Island are perfect for a leisurely stroll, seashell hunting, or even an energetic run. For water lovers, JP Luby Surf Park is perfect for catching waves. Or you can venture to Padre Balli Park for excellent fishing, windsurfing, or just a peaceful day floating on the water or sunning on the sandy shores. For more exciting water activities, consider jet ski rentals, glow-in-the-dark kayak tours, standup paddleboard lessons, or off-shore fishing charters.
Unique Activities
For those looking to stay on dry land but still explore the outdoors, Leonabelle Turnbull Birding Center in Port Aransas is a go-to spot. With two boardwalks spanning more than 1,225 feet, you can wander at your own pace and take in sweeping views of the surrounding marshland while you spot native wildlife and migratory birds. The Corpus Christi Texas State Aquarium is another go-to that's sure to delight. With exciting exhibits and habitats, it's guaranteed fun for the whole family.
