Calling Port A a city is a bit of a stretch. It does get mighty busy on summer weekends and during spring break season, though. I used to visit the beach there quite often. It was very clean and not very crowded in the old days.

Times, though, have changed. Now you have to drive several miles on the beach to get away from the huge crowds. Sometimes no matter how far you go there are still crowds. It's still about the nicest beach in Texas, though.
