Best route to Port Aransas from D/FW area?

[Texans42]

35 south to Georgetown. Exit on to South 130(new toll rd.) take it till it dead ends on 183. Head south on 183 and follow the signs. The toll road is alitle high(@ 7 or so bucks) the ride but it is worth it.

We have a place in Rockport and thats the fastest way I have found in 5 years.

Thanks Mike. This seems to have the consensus as the best way to go.

thats the way i used to go when i lived in Austin. If you come this way you will go through Taft after you go thru Sinton. Stop by my shop in Taft and say hello. Brezina's Tire right in the middle of town on Hwy 181. Your only 15-20 mins. from Port A at this point.

I appreciate the offer and would love to see another TBH celebrity , but it will all depend on the mood of the truck at that point. You don't have a smokin' deal on a set of gently used 38'x12.5"x15" Interco TSL/SX or Super Swampers do you?

CC museum is having a scavenger hunt sat afternoon for the kids, CC hammerheads IFL football sat night, bay jammin series free film at cole park friday night, the beach at port a, powder puff fishing tournament weigh-in, dolphin watching boat tours, night fishing from local lighted piers,the USS Lexington,texas state aquarium,putt-putt on the island,good early morning trout fishsing off the south jetty in the secong gut on live bait under a lemon rig. Just a few things going on down here.

Excellent! We were planning on taking Brendan to the aquarium on Saturday, we'll check the rest out as well.

well we are headed that way on Sunday and I think we are doing the toll to 183 etc. We used to always do the route to San Marcos and then through seguin but I cannt stand Austin even though I have to drive there for work.

We just did that trip a few weeks ago... I went one way not sure the roads but they were some back country roads from Austin.... but we came back 35 /37. This was way faster at highway speeds...

Ditto on the tollroad -- Glen introduced me to that wonder around Austin.

I would take it even if the toll was $100 bucks, just to avoid downtown Austin
