It’s just kind of exciting to ride your bike onto the fairy and go across the bay and just see all the things and smell the Seabreeze and take pictures of the seagulls flying across the ferry boat and watching the ships go by.You also sometimes get a chance to see the dolphins swimming next to the ferry which is kind of neat as well.

This is a shortcut to get across the ship channel. Just on the south side is a great seafood restaurant called "Monument Inn". If you use the ferry, you essentially get "Dinner & a Cruise"! Ferry only takes a few minutes, so it is pretty short. If you want a longer ferry, ho go Galveston and take the Galveston ferry over to Bolivar Peninsula. That is about 20 minutes, but usually you will see dolphins.
5. The Port Aransas Ferry System

This small ferry system is very organized and makes the short trip across the Corpus Christi Channel in about 10 minutes on ferries that hold about 20 cars. The ferry runs 24 hours a day and is well staffed. For me, riding the ferry was a lesson in slowing down and respecting the rhythms of the ocean. Loved it.
