We spend a lot of time planning our vacation destinations, creating bucket lists that we can cross off each new place that we have visited, and when we do, we feel like we have accomplished something really special. But did you know the timing of your vacation can be just as important, adding an extra element of fun and excitement to your experiences? September and October are the prime months for our On Island Time Port Aransas rentals, offering a fall shine that will make your Texas vacation one you will never forget, and this guide will show you all the reasons why.
Less Crowds
Although we are a popular vacation destination year-round, there are times of the year when travelers are more involved with their own lives, choosing to stay home and deal with work, school, and whatever other real world problems may be going on at the time. And, as you might have guessed, September and October are the prime months for visiting our coastal town. Even better, the weather will still be warm, the sun will still be shining, and summer will have tiptoed into the next season, meaning you can still splash around in pools and/or the sea that lies just outside your On Island Time escape!
Time on the Sand
While the Port Aransas beaches won’t actually be your own private beach, it may still feel like it, making it even easier to relax and soak in the serenity and magic of the Gulf waters. Walk along the shoreline with the warm waters curling around your ankles, watching the shorebirds ahead of you fly off into the sky when you get too close, knowing that once you pass, they will land again behind you, going back to their very important business of finding food for themselves and their families. Float on your back in warm waters, feeling the waves lift and carry you as the sun shines brightly down on you, just don’t float too far out, no matter how relaxing it is. You have plenty more relaxation waiting for you back at your On Island Time Port Aransas escape!
Shorter Lines
With less crowds comes shorter lines, and when you are hungry, you will appreciate no waits in our delicious restaurants. Good food is an essential part of any successful vacation, and as you enjoy elevated seafood options at Tortuga’s Saltwater Grill (429 Alister Street), uniquely exquisite lamb burgers at BierHaus Port Aransas (522 E Avenue G), and belly up to the bar at Blue Water Cowboy Bar & Saloon (229 Beach Street), you won’t have to worry about hungry kids who have become cranky or hungry spouses that are on the verge of becoming hangry. Shorter waiting times make happier travelers—it’s a fact!
Beachtober Is Here!
For most towns, their special events or festivals last just a day, sometimes two, but in October, excuse us, BEACHtober, you get to celebrate for the entire month! Offering live music, beach runs, special deals at local restaurants on margaritas and tacos, and special deals at bakeries and some local restaurants on sweet treats, as well as a special shopping week at the end of the month, every day is worth celebrating when you visit Port Aransas in October. The Harvest Moon Regatta, however, is probably one of our favorite events, held October 9 through 11. Offering a really cool boat race to Port Aransas, the Mt. Gay Rum Party that takes place at the end of the regatta is a party that will live on in your memory for years to come, featuring live music, a dance floor, and of course, all the rum you care to drink!
