When the sun starts its slow descent over the water, Trout Street Boardwalk comes alive with the sound of live music drifting across the warm evening air. Pull up a seat, order something fresh from the Gulf, and let the salt breeze carry the night away — the kind of easy, unhurried summer evening that Port Aransas does better than just about anywhere.
After the last song fades and the cocktails are gone, the walk back to Beached Inn is all soft sand and starlight, the perfect way to end a night that reminds you exactly why you came to the coast.
