Window decoration at Shana's Good Eats. It's not every day you see a chicken in a thong. Perhaps that's a good thing!
The Port Aransas Sand Fest is the last weekend in April, and has some of the most spectacular professional sand sculptures you'll ever see on display. We enjoyed driving our car right on the beach and bringing our own beverages and chairs to cool off on the beach afterward.

Everything was “not quite ready”. From room check-in, morning coffee and breakfast. Room was pretty good, although didn’t live up to what advertised on website. Small but comfortable, but for only 4 cars there, you’d think a slightly early check-in, and breakfast and coffee would be ready.
