The month of March will be a busy one for the island.Port Aransas is a very popular Spring Break destination, and although there are more rules put in place in order to ensure the enjoyment of everyone, families come from all over the country to get their well-deserved break from their normal routines.
One of the most popular events in Port Aransas is the Whooping Cranes Festival which will be held February 21st - 24th. Bird enthusiasts and nature lovers come from all over the country every year to observe the endangered Cranes and many other species of birds. There are guided tours by land and sea, and one never tires of watching these gorgeous creatures.
Port Aransas is the Winter home of many of our northern neighbors who want to escape their harsh winter weather.
On Thursday, February 28th, Plantation Suites is holding a Bon Voyage party, and all of the Winter Texans on the island are cordially invited. There will be a free buffet and door prizes, tours of the property, and entertainment will be provided by one of the island’s favorite bands, the Medicare Band. This is the second year the party has been held, and last year the turnout was enormous. We look forward to an equally as large a turnout this year.
Tourists come to our island for the fishing, the beach, birding, just to be casual and relaxed and to “get away”. However, many people have no idea about the large number of excellent restaurants here on the island, including 3 four-star restaurants. Some say we have more good restaurants per capita than anywhere in the country. So, as you make your plans to come stay with us, remember that the hotel offers an excellent free, Continental breakfast. Then, if you want to go out for a great lunch or dinner, just check at the front desk for our restaurant list and enjoy one of our local delicious restaurants. Make your reservations now!
