Just outside the white sandy beaches of Port Aransas, there are a multitude of parks just waiting to be explored. The Padre Island National Seashore, for example, is famous for it's vast turtle population, which can be viewed upon entrance to the park, while Mustang Island is known for the large variety of birds that either migrate or are indigenous to the area.
There are plenty of wetlands, islands, natural preserves, ponds, and other wildlife refuges to explore, all extremely close to your La Mirage beachfront condo. You can beach camp, bike, or hike around these areas, or even get a guided tour so as to know what type of wildlife you are witnessing. The Texas Gulf of Mexico is teeming with interesting places just a hop away from the famed beach life of Port Aransas.
So pay a visit to one of the numerous parks and recreation facilities, and enjoy a different perspective of beach living!
