Cinnamon Shore in Port Aransas Has a ’30A’ Feel That’s All Texas
Share News:
If you’ve ever found yourself eyeing the pristine communities along 30A in Florida, Cinnamon Shore in Port Aransas might just change your mind about what luxury living on the Texas coast can look like. Think pastel beach cottages, resort-style pools, palm-lined boardwalks, and golf carts zipping between neighborhood amenities — but with Lone Star roots firmly intact.
Established in 2007, Cinnamon Shore is a master-planned vacation home community set along 18 miles of uninterrupted beachfront on Mustang Island, just minutes from Port Aransas. The portfolio of homes includes everything from tiny home-inspired classic cottages and low-rise townhomes and condos to stunning multi-generational beach homes.
There are two phases here: the original 63-acre Cinnamon Shore North and its newer 147-acre expansion, Cinnamon Shore South — and boy, has demand been great. Like we saw with many second-home communities, the demand for land and homes was unprecedented and Cinnamon Shore was no exception. During the developer’s multi-phase rollout, some lot offerings sold out in three days.
Those future homeowners saw the golden opportunity here: You can build a luxury beach house on a shockingly well-priced improved lot in relatively undiscovered prime land on the Texas Gulf Coast. You’ve got all the amenities of Florida’s 30A seaside communities with a fraction of the drive to get there.
Here’s a peek at the move-in-ready properties: A 4-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom home at 214 Lakeshore St. is listed for $2.39 million, while a charming 4-bedroom Mansard at 104 Stillwater Dr. is priced at $1.69 million.
Plus, there are still prime sites with gulf and lake views available. We spotted a lot on 125 Sweet Tea Ln. for $295,000. Or move closer to the water to 512 Coastline Dr., a premier beachfront lot for $845,000. That’s amazing!
The amenities here rival anything you’d find on 30A: resort-style pools, combed beaches, convenient chair and towel valets, a full slate of entertainment, and on-site dining that puts your typical beach fare to shame. You can grab lunch from Dylan’s Coal Oven Pizzeria or C Bar Café, and end the day with cocktails at Lisabella’s Bistro. Other resort-like amenities include a fitness center, dog park, private dune crossovers, community fire pits, and several playscapes.
Specifically for Spring Break, the property has a roster of activities, ranging from sandcastle building, surf lessons, paddleboard and beach yoga to family karaoke, s’more nights, outdoor movies, and live music. DJ music can also be enjoyed at multiple pools, while outdoor games in green spaces include oversized chess and checkers, cornhole, a pirate ship playground, and more.
But here’s the difference. While some beach resort communities feel like they could be anywhere — plucked from a brochure and dropped on the coastline — Cinnamon Shore still feels like Texas.
The people, the atmosphere, the unpretentious charm — it’s all here, just with an extra layer of polish. You’ll see families in flip-flops headed to the sand, anglers swapping stories on the boardwalk, and that golden Texas sunset reflecting off pastel rooftops.
The Texas coast has its own vibe — unpolished in the best way. It’s not trying to be Florida. It doesn’t need to be.
