3 Awesome Historic Attractions Near Port Aransas, TX

Mustang Island
In the early part of the 19th century, Port Aransas was home to pirates. Pirate Captain Jean Lafitte may have started Galveston, TX and was known to haunt this part of the Gulf Coast. Legend has it that he left behind a hidden treasure somewhere on Mustang Island, home of Port Aransas. The legend states that a hidden treasure chest is marked by a silver dagger.
Aransas Pass Lighthouse
Aransas Pass is just across the channel. Its historic lighthouse was deactivated in 1952 after the channel moved away from the lighthouse, rendering it irrelevant. However, it was so critical to the security of the coastline that its lens was hidden in nearby marshland during the Civil War. Controlling night time movement of ships in the area played a key role in the war.
S.S. John Worthington
This WWII shipwreck is one of several that serve as artificial reefs along the Texas coast. If you like scuba diving or snorkeling, this is a can’t miss adventure in the nearby blue waters of the gulf.
