Shorty's Place has been a Port Aransas institution for longer than most people can remember, and on this particular Saturday night it's the place to be. Todd Dorn takes the stage with the kind of Texas country that gets boots moving and cold drinks disappearing — the sort of laid-back, no-frills evening that fits a beach town perfectly.
After the music winds down, Beached Inn is just a short walk away — kick off your shoes at the door, step out onto the porch, and let the sound of the Gulf carry the night a little further.
