Brilliant orange sunset on a Saturday evening looking across Aransas Pass. #sunset #beachbound
A view of Aransas Pass from the Port Aransas side. At sunset, go get a pizza and watch the ships pass through and dolphins swim nearby. So much to see, and a very relaxing spot. Stay until after dark so that you can hear the dolphins pop up for air in the nearby waters. It's also a great fishing spot.
