The Lodge is located right off the beach and is walking distance from the condo. They have seafood baskets, pizzas, appetizers and beer. Great atmosphere to grab a snack or drink while still being beachfront. It is also has rooms for rent behind the restaurant so don’t be confused my the pictures/listing.

Conseils sur la ville

Réservez avant de partir

Boat tours/fishing boats/dolphin boat tours

Port A has several charter companies for different boating tours. If you are going during peak season you will want to book ahead of time as they are often full and unavailable for same day bookings.

Gulf carts

Port A is known for its gulf carts and much of the island is accessible by cart! There are many rental companies, but they sell out quickly. Even in the off season they can be hard to come by. Call before arriving on the island to book!
Coutumes et culture

Relaxed- island vibe.

If you’ve never been to Port A get ready for a laid back time! Port A is very casual and you will find you are not underdressed for just about anywhere. If you decide to go to dinner right from the beach, your shorts and t-shirt are fine for just about any establishment.
Que faut-il apporter?

Packing tips

You can buy almost anything you need on the island… but it will cost you a little more. From food to sunscreen to swimsuits - there are many stores around the island. If you want to save some money and hassle once you arrive pack the beach essentials with you! (Swimsuit, sunscreen, bug spray, beach towels, extra shorts and shirts, hat, beach umbrella or canopy, snacks, drinks, sunglasses, beach chairs, device chargers)
Voyage avec des enfants

Family fun

Sea Sounds condo is perfect for families due to the close walk to the beach and two pools onsite! We also have a fenced porch that is perfect for the whole family. When traveling with young kids remember a few extras- we do not have a crib, pack n play or high chair. We do have children’s plates, cups and forks/spoons. Don’t forget sun protection for the little ones (sunscreen, bug spray, hats).
Manières de faire des économises

Traveling in a budget

Your trip to Port Aransas does not have to brake the bank. You will spend the most on lodging and food. Sea Sounds condo has a full kitchen with refrigerator, stove, oven, microwave and dishwasher. We also have dishes and pots and pans. Bring a cooler with food to cook or grocery shop when you arrive on the island and save yourself a few meals out!
