According to the chart, Port A gets avg 32 inches of rain per year. That qualifies as semiarid? The semiarid article states 10-20 inches per year. The entire Texas Gulf Coast from Port Arthur to Brownsville is most accurately described as "humid subtropical." --stonetlee 3/29/2008 13:20 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.245.68.187 ( talk) 18:20, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
The history section is WAY too long. It needs to be shortened or have its own article, but there is absolutely no need for such length and detail in this article. Frecklegirl ( talk) 07:12, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
Being a native Texan I have heard Port Aransas referred to by the nickname "Port A." Anyone else hear this before? -- ProdigySportsman ( talk) 17:18, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
As a person from Port A. we all call it Port A. The reason is Port A. is an easier to say and code for you belong. Marylonestar ( talk) 01:30, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

In your article about Port Aransas, TX, it states that Franking Roosevelt stayed at the Tarpon Inn in 1937. Not true. He never left the Presidential yacht and never put foot in Port Aransas. He was in Port Aransas for a fishing trip and the guides picked him up daily from the yacht, went fishing and returned him to the yacht. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.108.234.53 ( talk) 12:09, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
I would like to explore moving content to the main article (especially the history), leaving enough that would not affect the integrity of this article, yet placing it where it belongs. This article is about a city so needs to focus on that and not so much specifics on one place. Otr500 ( talk) 02:42, 22 September 2015 (UTC)
