Guidebook for Port Isabel
Food Scene
Great little place (hole-in-a-wall) with authentic Mexican food! -Ask for the breakfast "Chilaquiles", and for lunch the "all-you-can-eat fish & shrimp". Nothing fancy, but completely authentic flavor!

Sightseeing
Only a short 6-minute-drive from Casita By The Texas Bay to the Port Isabel Lighthouse! This little lighthouse is an educational and inexpensive thing to do. The small entry fee is definitely worth it for the views from the balcony at the top. It is free to enter the area but there is a small fee to go up in the lighthouse. Lots of shops and restaurants nearby.
