Cinnamon Shore glows during Christmastime — and Forbes magazine saw us shining at the edge of Port Aransas, naming our village among the best small towns in America for holiday magic.
In Good Company
The publication's roundup says it plainly: "These enchanting small towns teem with holiday magic." Cinnamon Shore earns its place alongside Estes Park, Carmel, Bardstown, Gulfport, Door County, and Homestead in Midtown, Utah.
Forbes describes Cinnamon Shore as "a premier master-planned seaside community on the Texas Gulf Coast."
"This holiday season, the community comes alive with its annual Shimmer at the Shore celebration, where streets and lakeside promenades boast twinkling lights and festive décor."
Shimmer at the Shore
Running from Thanksgiving through New Year's, Shimmer at the Shore transforms Cinnamon Shore into a one-of-a-kind coastal holiday destination. The Town Center tree, lighted palms, decorated rental homes, a holiday home tour, and beach bonfires all play a role.
