Step inside Farley Boat Works and spend an afternoon with your hands on something real. This week-long workshop centers on building a scale model of the original 16-foot Port Aransas Skiff — the very boat Doyle Marek crafted here in the late 1960s. It's a rare chance to connect with the working waterfront heritage that shaped this little coastal town, guided by people who take that history seriously.
After a morning of craftsmanship and salt-air storytelling, Beached Inn is just a short walk away — cold drinks on the porch, bare feet on warm sand, and a Gulf breeze to remind you why you came to Port A in the first place.
