Drone Chasing Ships in the Channel near the Port A Jetty in Port Aransas Texas

The Coastal Bend Flying Circus and the Surfside Flyers Kite Club teamed up to put on a Kite Festival over the weekend of April 24-25th 2021, on the beach in Port Aransas Texas. The winds were not very kind to kites during Saturday afternoon, but picked up again just in time for the night show with these illuminated kites.

We were invited to come fly our drones to record the event and this is one of those resulting videos. We frequently like come visit the coast whenever Surfside Flyers Kite Club hold an event, but this was a first time for us to spend time with the Coastal Bend Flying Circus.

The pass at Port Aransas is a natural channel that has existed for many hundreds of years. The current jetties were built between 1906 and 1911. Access to the jetties is free. Both the North and South Jetty are very popular with fishermen and can be good for a large variety of species throughout the year.

The South Jetty is part of the I.B. MaGee Beach Park, operated by Nueces County Parks Department. Free admission, but you will need the $12 annual Beach Parking Permit in order to do more than just drive by and look. You can buy the permit at any local gas station or most tourist shops in the Corpus Christi and Port Aransas areas.

We flew the Autel Evo 2 Pro drone, recording in 4K / 30fps. Video Editing software was Wondershare Filmora X. The audio track was recorded live from a digital recorder set up on a tripod out on the beach.
