Step inside the historic Farley Boat Works and learn to craft a landing net by hand — the kind of piece that feels as much like art as it does tackle. Over the course of the workshop, you'll shape and laminate a frame from rich mahogany and Douglas fir, leaving with something handmade and built to last on the water. It's a quiet, satisfying way to spend a morning or afternoon in Port Aransas, surrounded by the smell of good wood and a little local history.
When the sawdust settles, Beached Inn is just a short walk away — the kind of place where a cool outdoor shower, a breezy porch, and the sound of the surf make the perfect ending to a day well spent on this island.
