Port Aransas Annual Trip

We always have a blast on our beach trip here. It’s great for families. We like staying between 11th street and the beach. We get a huge tent (pictured) set up for the entire weekend. If you’re going with a few families and can split the cost, it’s definitely worth it.

We love Port A for a good TX beach trip. You can drive on the beach with a permit. We always rent a golf cart. Lots of ice cream shops and little beach shops. Great family beach spot. We like to stay between 11th street and the beach around mile marker 6.

This heb is a price gouging store,this week here in rockport store new York strip steak is 7.99 a pound where in katy tx. It's 5.77 a pound, pork ribs here are 2.47 a pound in katy It's 1.77 reason being there's no competition for them and all the visitors that come to rockport go through heb,so slam em and let butts make a little cash. I have no complaints about the wonderful people they have working here,the place is always clean, it's just the mark up price they do

Awesome H-E-B experience clean interior. Lots of parking large amounts for curbside I can imagine during the tourist season. This can get very busy pretty large selection of sushi from the sushiya area.

Sandi and Omri from the deli were SOOOO kind, knowledgeable and helpful, they have a customer for life in me. Being new to the area, I'm kind of shy getting to know people but if this is any indication, I'm in a wonderful place. HEB-- Thanks to Sandi and Omri, I now have my home town shopping spot! Give em' a raise 👏

There is a real hometown feel here at this location. Everyone has always been so helpful and friendly. The staff here truly seems to like their jobs and take pride in what they do. They do a very good job keeping the store clean and well organized. It has easy access off Hwy 35 with many shaded parking spots. They have many parking spots available for the curbside pickup to help with no contact shopping. They clean and sanitize all carts before customer uses. There is a very good selection of fruits and vegetables and have many organic selections also. Good selection of meat and seafood, and good prices for each. We appreciate that they have gulf, local fish and shrimp. Keep up the good work, we really appreciate what you do for the community.

I have rented from them 3 times now (I have a 4th reservation in April. This outfit has always been super pleasant to deal with. They aren’t “cheap” but I wouldn’t classify them as over expensive either. This weekend we had a problem with the cart we rented (it just didn’t accelerate and was a bit slow. I called and their response was “I this is a common problem, I brought it to their location and they had a new one ready when I showed up. Based on this experience plus previous trouble free experiences I would recommend.

Im very impressed with this place every year we got to Port aransas and ive rented carts from different place with rude costumer service pulls a cart around when I say I didn't want that cart they would say this is all we have and the quality was extremely bad. These people are extremely friendly let me pick the cart i wanted blue tooth radio and all I highly recommend this place for your rental!

We recently rented a golf cart during our beach trip. Unfortunately, we experienced an issue with the cart, but the company handled the situation professionally and worked with us to make things right. Their communication was prompt, and they followed through on resolving the issue. While things didn't go exactly as planned, I really appreciate a business that stands behind its customers. Because of how they handled the situation, I would still recommend them to others and have already referred friends who are visiting the area. These are so fun to ride around the island!!! Thank you for the great customer service and for making things right.

Great experience renting a cart from Port A Beach Buggies. I simply sent an email requesting a quote for 3 days. Scott replied promptly and professionally with my exact rate for the cart I requested and confirmed my booking without even requiring a deposit up front, which I thought was pretty nice. Upon arrival Scott and the entire staff were very pleasant and service oriented. Their carts are pretty cool because each one is different amd you can pick one that suits your personality rather than all the cookie cutter ones with other outfitters. Best experience I've had renting carts in Port A for years. I'll be renting again from them next month and every time in the future.

Great experience, great cart and a great trip to Port A. Nice folks who took good care of our family and our pup. They have tons of fun choices for carts and they all run great! 10/10

We decided to drop in here after going to another place called Candy Shop down the road that had a $16 banana split. Luckily this place was nearby and we got this massive banana split for just under $10. Delicious Blue Bell flavors and the classic banana split toppings. Staff was ok, thus the *4 rating. One staff member asked what we wanted after just walking in for the first time and not even having glanced at the menu. I quickly settled on the split, and was then told they would "take you at the register". I asked if I could pick out my ice cream, and she said ok someone else will help me. It was very odd and felt super rushed. It was off-putting to say the least.

This place was awesome, the ice cream selection was really good. My wife and daughter got some ice cream and we played corn hole outside for a while. Staff was excellent and friendly! My wife won the $5 wheel spin and got a free tumbler!

1st, I do want to say… the Waffle Sunday was delicious!! I really wanted to like this place but the location/building needs to be cleaned. Overflowing trash can and dirty mop was the first thing we saw as we walked in. Floor needed a desperate cleaning/mopping. And the place needs more chairs if owner is expecting more customers. Owner was taking up two of the 6 chairs available… yet didn’t offer paying customers a seat. We had to ask. On that note… owner never greeted us, acknowledged us or even said BOO! Unfortunately for her, there are other ice cream locations on the islands with much better customer service and much cleaner facilities.

I’d stick to the toe rings and not the other jewelry. My anklet broke in a week and I took the trip up to Port A to get it fixed. I left it for three days and no one contacted me and when I got in contact they just told me they couldn’t fix it. Didn’t offer a replacement or discount another item. All together I spent $450 at both the stores. Just disappointed. But the toe rings are awesome!

I love this store and the vast jewelry selection. Heather was friendly and helpful during the visit and went over and above to help with an issue I had with my debit card. Shopping local keeps great stores like this one in business.

First Timer! Adorable little place, sweet & friendly service. Rachel put my toe ring on and I loved her enthusiasm. Parking is a little problem, not enough spaces for all the businesses in there. Loved Tippy Toes! ❤️

Great experience per usual, very happy with my experience! Great selection of toe rings and the fitting was perfect! I have been to many toe rings shops and this one seems to be priced very fair! Added two new today!

Perfect lightning inside, ambiance (live music), and amazing food! Best food in Port A Appetizer - bread 10/10 Entree - Cajun fish and my husband loved the Mahi mahi Dessert - do not leave this place without trying the bread pudding

Extremely disappointing experience at Black Marlin. For the prices they charge, I expected excellent food and service, and unfortunately we received neither. The Cajun Redfish was severely overcooked, dry, and lacked the quality I would expect from a seafood restaurant. The mashed potatoes had virtually no flavor and were also incredibly dry. The cheeseburger was another major disappointment. We genuinely felt we would have been better off going to Whataburger for a burger at a fraction of the price. What made the experience even worse was the service. The service at Black Marlin was some of the worst I have experienced at a restaurant. When you are paying premium restaurant prices, you expect attentive, professional service and high-quality food. That was absolutely not our experience. Black Marlin was overpriced, the food quality was extremely disappointing, and the service was terrible. For anyone searching for a good restaurant, seafood, Cajun redfish, burgers, or a nice dining experience in the area, I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere. Finn’s Restaurant has been a completely different experience for us, with much better quality food, absolutely delicious meals, and outstanding service. We spent far too much money at Black Marlin to walk away this disappointed. Unfortunately, based on the food, value, and service we experienced, I cannot recommend Black Marlin and will not be returning.

We had an absolutely spectacular dinner at Black Marlin last night! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming and relaxed, and the service was exceptional from start to finish. Our meals were outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Every dish exceeded our expectations, and it was clear that great care goes into both the food and presentation. The cocktails were excellent as well and paired perfectly with our meal. What truly made the evening memorable was the amazing service. The staff was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, making us feel genuinely valued as guests throughout the entire dining experience. If you’re visiting Port Aransas and looking for a fantastic dinner, Black Marlin is a must-visit. We can’t wait to come back!

What a great find! Tired of the same old fried food, overpriced drinks establishments, we were excited to find a place that offered upscale food, in a comfortable setting, at reasonable prices. We chose to dine outside, ordered the fish of the day (Redfish) which was prepared just perfectly, and also ordered the blackened Mahi Mahi tacos. Are service was exceptional and we loved how the chef didn't overseason and cover up the natural flavors of our fish. Simply Delicious and it was a simply beautiful evening. We'll definitely be back!

We always have a blast on our beach trip here. It’s great for families. We like staying between 11th street and the beach. We get a huge tent (pictured) set up for the entire weekend. If you’re going with a few families and can split the cost, it’s definitely worth it.
