First of all, Mike, the owner/ guide, is unbelievably friendly and goes above and beyond to make sure you and your party has a great experience. We've rented paddle boards from him several times. He spends a lot more time than any other company giving instructions and won't stop until everybody is comfortable on their board. The quality of his equipment is great and in terrific condition. We have also taken sunset cruises on his boat and it's always a blast. Finally, if all this weren't enough, best prices in Port A.!

Upon arrival o/a 10 a.m., we were greeted cordially and professionally by Anthony (whom we had met before), Scott (who provided initial instructions and answered our questions accordingly) and J.J. After completing paperwork for rental of two jet skis for one hour, providing my driver's license as collateral and receiving a safety briefing from Anthony, we headed to the designated area for jet skiing, and as usual we had a blast! Special thanks to J.J. for being in the immediate vicinity on his jet ski just in case we needed him for any reason! Thankfully, all went well, and we managed to have free rein of the ocean space before it became too crowded by other boats and jet skiers and before the temperature became unbearably hot! I would most assuredly recommend Fun Time Rentals should you have a desire to go jet skiing and/or pedal boating! And, of course, we plan to return in the near future!

Such an awesome experience! Rode the Jet Ski's today for the first time in our lives and it was…read morethrilling. Highly encourage you to show up when they open (first come, first serve), otherwise they'll get booked up and the later you wait, the higher chance you won't get to ride. We initially tried to make a reservation yesterday when we called a few times but they never answered. Once they did answer, the staff stated they were booked for the day as some people called and paid over the phone. So we decided to just show up early today. They have options such as 1/2 hour ride ($50), 1 hour ride ($85) and 15 min rides ($30) and $10 for an additional rider. They go over rules and the basics of the Jet Ski's before hand. DONT FORGET TO GRAB YOUR ID BEFORE LEAVING! I left mine on accident but they said the would mail it to me since of course we're from out of town, so grateful for them. 10/10 would definitely recommend.

I should start by saying that I don't hesitate or think twice about making the 2.5 hour drive from…read moreSan Antonio to this little piece of heaven, especially if the surf is good. I have this place marked on every GPS app that I own. It's where I take myself, my family, and my friends. The surf is always great, the people are always friendly, the lifeguards make me feel safe and secure, and the sunsets here are unmatched. If you're looking for a Texas beach to check out, don't pass up J. P. Luby. And be sure to grab a yellow trash bag at the beach entrance (either people posted up there handing them out, or they can be found by the bathrooms near the jetty). Please keep this beach as beautiful as you found it

The boardwalk from Lively empties right onto this beach between markers 204 and 205. If you aren't staying at Lively but you wanna get away from the crowds in Port A, Cinnamon Shore, or on North Padre Island out of Corpus Christi, you might wanna keep JP Luby as a backup option. It's well-maintained, clean, and generally as pleasant as Texas beaches can possibly be. You do need to pick up a permit for driving onto the beach, $12, easy to get at any convenience or grocery store in the area. The pass is good for the whole calendar year and all drivable beaches in the Port A - Corpus region from mile marker 0 to 62. Trucks or other 4WD high clearance vehicles are advised, but I did see a few less sporty options around. Take care to heed warning flags about surf conditions and the rip current. These are posted as you enter from Zahn Road, just as you pass the shower station and porto-johns. Once you get settled, you'll see everything from anglers to families on beach vacations to dare devils on surfboards, boogie boards, or kite surfing rigs. Our early October 2024 visit was easily one of my favorites from 30+ years of semi-annual trips to the Mustang / Padre Island area. We spent 3 days on this beach just watching the waves, the birds, and the happy visitors soaking up the last bit of summer paradise for the year. It was so calm, no loud stereos blasting, just folks out to enjoy Mother Nature and allow others to do the same. The adjacent North Packery Channel Jetty includes a long walkway that was packed with anglers at sunrise each morning we were there. From one fisherman I spoke with, red fish and trout were the goal at this time of year, with bait mullet easily caught by casting a net from the rocks. If you don't want to haul a bunch of chillax gear out to the beach, there are vendors who will provide setup/take-down of chairs, shade, campfires, and more for a fee. Some options to consider include Corpus Beach Rentals and 361 Blue Beach Concierge, but note that these vendors may close outside of "high season" dates.

Tom recommended 5 hrs each and that was really just right. We took two days and by the second day I was starting to ride with some help getting started. My more experienced son was really able to get much better with the audio instructions coming over the remote radio in your helmet. The equipment was great. The location in Oso Bay is absolutely ideal. The wind conditions were ideal each day and the depth of the water was never over waist deep. Very soft bottom. We were here in mid March 2023. Recommend having a flexible schedule to allow for variations in the weather. Tom let us know which days would be best and we adjusted our schedule to match. He was dead on with the weather/wind. He even suggested days we would need a wetsuit, which he was right. Can't wait to come back. Absolutely recommend.
