San Jose Island

A short ferry ride from Port Aransas is a largely uninhabited and undistrubed miles long stretch of beach called San Jose Island. The perfect spot to go when you feel like truly getting away and feeling like you're on a pricate island; because well, you are! So, pack your bag, bring a pic-nic and a bag to collect shells while you're there and get ready to truly relax and explore in nature.

**FUN FACTS: San Jose island was once claimed by France, then Spain and even a pirate - the first American flag to fly over Texas was planted here in the sand dunes on July 26, 1845 by Lt. Chandler of the USS. Alabama. A town by the name of Aransas once flourished among San Jose Island and was a successful port for the Confederacy during the Civil War. Cotton, beef, seafood, military supplies and other items were sent from its shores until the Union Army came into town and burned down every structure in sight including all the docks and then stole all the livestock. They say there are all kinds of burried treasures and historical pieces beneath the sands at San Jose Island dating back to the 1500's!
