Review:
An 18-mile long barrier island near Port Aransas, the whole of Mustang Island is a state park with five miles of spectacular sandy beach. Off its southern end is Padre Island and Corpus Christi, connected by the JFK Causeway.
Before ranching took over, the island was famous for the mustang horses that roamed the island freely and gave the island its name.
Visitors usually spend their time on the island swimming, bird watching, or collecting shells.
When the wind picks up, there are surfers enjoying the waves, and when the wind dies down, kayaking and paddleboarders take over.
Fishing from the jetties or wading through the shallows often results with surprising number of fish.
It is also possible to charter a deep fishing boat.
Walking around and enjoying the dunes and the birds that make their home here is a wonderful experience.
