Dads are often the unsung heroes of any family, killing the bugs we are afraid to even look at, making sure our cars are clean before we head out on road trips, and doing all the chores that we really don’t even want to consider, like taking out the garbage, getting our oil changed in our cars, and mowing the lawns. On Father’s Day, however, we tend to forget all he does for us, barely remembering to buy a card and send a text, and yet, like the hero he is, dad is always appreciative of whatever nuggets of love we toss his way. In 2024, however, we at Sandcastle Condominiums would like to encourage you to treat him like a true hero should be treated with a Texas vacation in Port Aransas and a comfortable stay in our holiday hideaways. This guide will give you even more ways to spoil him during your stay.
Go Fly a Kite!
We aren’t insulting you and your dad; we are literally suggesting a few hours of kite flying on the beaches of Port Aransas. We know that kite flying is billed as an activity for the kiddos, but secretly, our dads love the experience as much as his children do, and Fly It Port A, located at 405 W Avenue G, has the kites that will make secret dreams come true. And these kites aren’t the plastic cheapies that tear apart after their first encounter with an errant tree branch, these kites are imaginative, creative, and built to withstand the winds that often sweep our sandy beaches, so make your first stop here at this fun store and let dad fly kites to his heart’s content.
Man vs. Sea
Make dad’s dreams come true with a fishing expedition into the deep waters that surround our Texas coastal town. Many local captains vie for the opportunity to take amateur anglers to where the big fish are biting the most, including the wonderful captains at Dolphin Dock, located at 300 W Cotter Avenue. Charter a fishing expedition aboard your choice of a variety of boats and send dad off to sea with a hearty clap on the back and a sincere wish for lucky angling, while you go back to the condo and relax on the balcony, sipping a glass of wine. He will thank you for this chance when he returns to dock with his catch of the day, eager to share his spoils with the family at dinner later that night.
Let Him Go Fore It
You didn’t catch us making a spelling error; rather, spelling for with an E on the end is our clever way of encouraging you to give your dad a day on the greens of the Palmilla Beach Golf Club. This public course located at 258 Snapdragon offers an intimate golf experience on its 12-hole course featuring views of the Gulf of Mexico. Even a bad score won’t get dad’s goat as the serenity of the sea invades his soul, and after a few hours on this easier course, he can brag about his hole in one at their 19th hole, REDS Patio Bar.
Is Your Dad a Daredevil?
Every dad is different, and some prefer their adventures to be of the heart pounding sort, and if this is your dad, why not introduce him to the thrills of parasailing? Chute ‘em Up Parasailing, 154 W Cotter Avenue, is open every day from 9 to 5 and provides an exciting way to fly safely over the Gulf of Mexico, ensuring your dad will enjoy an adventure that he will remember forever. Reasonably priced, each flight only lasts about 10 minutes, ensuring dad can be home enjoying yet another nap on our plush and comfortable sofas rather quickly and the pictures taken will earn him the envy of all his dad friends back home.
Holiday Hideaways the Entire Family Will Enjoy
At the end of the day, all dad wants to do is spend more time with the family he doesn’t get to see enough during real life, and the moments you all spend together enjoying our Sandcastle Condominiums holiday hideaways will be ones you will cherish forever. Plan a movie night, binge watching the shows he loves more than anything, discover that pickleball is really a family game, and chill out by our resort pools; dad can be enjoying his favorite beers while the kids practice holding their breath underwater and mom works on her tan! Every adventure will be Texas sized when you choose Sandcastle Condominiums for your Father’s Day accommodations, and because we offer condos in a variety of sizes, you can easily choose the one that fits your family best. Reserve your favorite escape today!
