As you’re exploring the area around Port Aransas, your mind may not readily go to a jetty as an interesting sight to see. But Port Aransas’ South Jetty is a rare exception! Many come to this area for its amazing fishing opportunities and up-close views of the water.
This man-made jetty stretches far out into the Gulf. When visiting, carefully watch your step so you don’t fall into one of the spaces between. It’s easy to do when you’re taking in such beautiful Gulf views. You’ll also notice many casting their lines in from the jetty. Just what will they catch? Possibly some red snapper, wahoo, kingfish and of course the tarpon. Fishing from the jetty is open, free, and accessible to everyone. Just acquire your fishing license from any of the local vendors (like Lowe’s Port A Family Center) and you’ll be good to go.
Even if you’re not an angler, sitting out on the South Jetty is a good time. As you look out onto the water, you might spot sea turtles coming to the jetty to feast on the moss that covers the jetty rocks. There are also dolphins around and the amazing pelicans who dive into the waters to catch fish. Along the shore of the jetty, you can search for shells and point out other wildlife along the way.
Come during the morning hours when it’s a little less crowded or visit during the sunset for that incredible golden hour glow. If you’re fishing, bring a rod, your fishing license and the appropriate bait which should be purchased locally nearby. Allow curiosity and your sense of adventure lead the way as you take in the views.
