When the sun dips low and the Gulf breeze picks up, Shorty's Place comes alive with the sound of Red Feather filling the outdoor patio. It's the kind of night Port Aransas does well — cold drinks, warm air, and a band that makes you want to stay just one more song. Step inside for a round of pool or let the jukebox carry you between sets.
Afterward, Beached Inn is right where you left it — salt air on the breeze, the soft sound of the surf, and a porch that makes the perfect ending to a night out on the island.
