Great update on Boots! 💚🐊💚

Exiled from his old Port Aransas home, Boots the alligator has created a new life for himself, settling into a Beaumont sanctuary and reportedly fathering some babies, to boot. Here’s a photo that the sanctuary provided, showing the little whippersnappers. Check out the story in this week’s edition of the South Jetty, on newsstands all over Port Aransas and online at www.portasouthjetty.com. (Photo courtesy of Gator Country.)

So much history to this beautiful area! Enjoy your stay!

The story of Port Aransas begins with the families who chose to make this island home, building businesses, raising families, and laying the foundation for the community we know today.

The Mercers established Mustang Island’s first homestead in the 1850s and later built the island’s first trading store. The Farleys became legendary for their boatbuilding and fishing legacy, helping establish Port Aransas as the “Tarpon Capital of the World.” Families like the Brundretts, Frandoligs, Roberts, Cotters, Greens, Browns, Munsills, Carters, Mathews, Tellers, Belchers, Moores, Littletons, and Clarks also became part of the fabric of the island through generations of fishing, business, civic life, and community building.

These names are woven into the history of Port A and many continue to be part of our community today.

🌴 **Psst… some of the BEST Port A days happen after summer!** ☀️🌊

Summer may be winding down, but Port Aransas definitely isn’t! In fact, the “off-season” might just be one of our favorite times to visit. ❤️

☀️ The beach weather is still beautiful
🏖️ The beaches are less crowded
🍹 Restaurants & local favorites are easier to enjoy
🛍️ Less waiting and more time exploring
💰 And best of all… rates start coming down!

Whether you’re squeezing in **one last family getaway**, planning a couples weekend, or lucky enough not to be tied to a school schedule, late summer and fall can be the perfect time to escape to the island.

🐾 Dune Dogs puts you right in town off 11th Street, close to the Sandcastle Dr. beach access, with a community pool waiting when you’re ready to cool off. And with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, there’s plenty of room to settle in and enjoy a few days of island time.

Come for the beach… stay for the slower pace, good food, rent a golf cart and cruise around the island, and soak up those gorgeous Port A sunsets. 🌅

📅 We have some great off-season availability coming up through January 15th!

Who else thinks Port A is even better when the summer crowds start to disappear? 🙋‍♀️🌴
