Bar

Local bar that was rebuilt after the hurricane, but still managed to keep their old-school charm. Pool, darts and karaoke will keep your group entertained.

The only bar on the beach. Drink some cold beer and eat the pizza or burger. Don’t forget to put some quarters in the jukebox and play some tunes! Remember you are on beach time here— run by locals who are not in a hurry.

Walking distance from Pirates Bay. A local favorite that can often fill with smoke, so might not be the best for kids (although they do promote a putt putt course out front). 😆 Good burgers and fried fish washed down with cold beer and cocktails.

Delicious pasta! Affordable, giant kids portions (good for adults too!). They just built a new tiki bar inside, and also have a food truck for to-go orders.

Might be the best Italian in all of Texas. No joke. Also the ‘nicest’ restaurant in Port A. Great wine selection. Reservations required or call for pick up. Can also sometimes walk in for a spot at the bar.

Shopping

A car maintenance shop AND clothing boutique all in one! Some of the cutest, most sparkly items for purchase. Definitely a girly girl place. They also just opened a separate, larger boutique right down the road.
