Port Aransas, Texas:

Port Aransas is a small Texas coastal community on Corpus Christi Bay.  Is is set between Corpus Bay and the sea on a barrier island.  There are 2 ways to get there, the long way around Corpus Bay, or across the narrows from Aransas Pass via the Texas State ferry.  Because of it's isolation, it is much less crowded and is more peaceful than most of the rest of the Texas coast.
