Mustang Island

Mustang Island State Park, located on this 18-mile-long barrier island 28 miles southeast of Corpus Christi, is a popular spot for mountain biking, kayaking, and swimming.

It used to be home to wild horses but is now famed for its miles of beaches and outdoor activities. Outside of the park, visitors can enjoy water sports such as kiteboarding, wakeboarding, surfing, and snorkeling at North Packery Beach.

There is a small village called Port Aransas. It's a beautiful instagrammable spot and a good place for sunbathing, parasailing, fishing, or splashing around at the beach.
