Port Aransas Spring Break 2024: Plan Your Beach Getaway Today
Spring break is the perfect time to get away while it's still fairly cold in many parts of the country and it's just far enough away from the holidays to need a vacation again.
While spring break is typically synonymous with college students, it's a popular travel time for all ages. Port Aransas is a small beach town on Mustang Island along the Texas Gulf Coast offering miles of beaches, nature preserves, and waterways to explore.
Spring weather offers plenty of opportunities to get outside and take in quality Vitamin D, but you'll also find plenty of things to do indoors. Port Aransas is a small town at heart, but it has some big city amenities. You'll find tons of restaurants in Port Aransas as well as kid-friendly attractions that adults can enjoy too.
Spring break in Port Aransas can be a busy time of the year, especially if you're traveling during peak weeks. Spring Break 2024 for many Texas colleges is the week of March 16-23, so it's best to avoid that week if you can. But keep in mind the entire month of March is busy.
