Father's Day weekend takes on a lush, unhurried feel at the South Texas Botanical Gardens and Nature Center in Corpus Christi, where dads get complimentary admission all weekend long. Wander through acres of curated gardens and natural scenery — a genuinely peaceful way to honor the dad in your group before the summer heat peaks. It's a short drive from Port Aransas, making it an easy and rewarding excursion for the whole crew. When you're ready to trade blooms for salt air, Beached Inn and the quieter coastal rhythm of Cinnamon Shore will be right there waiting to welcome you back.
