>💍 Historic Coastal Elopements in Port Aransas Starting at $450
Perched among the dunes of Port Aransas, Texas, Chapel on the Dunes offers one of the most intimate and unique ceremony settings on the Gulf Coast. Small, historic, and full of character, this charming chapel is ideal for couples who want their wedding day to feel simple, meaningful, and deeply connected to the coast.
Designed for intimate ceremonies rather than large traditional weddings, Chapel on the Dunes gives couples a peaceful setting surrounded by coastal beauty, local history, and quiet romance. Its hand-painted interior, arched windows, and tucked-away dune location create a ceremony experience that feels personal, sacred, and unlike anything you would find in a standard venue.
Whether you’re planning a private elopement, a small family ceremony, or a quiet wedding moment before celebrating elsewhere in Port Aransas, this chapel offers a memorable setting for couples who care more about meaning than production.
With chapel rentals starting at $450, you’ll enjoy:

- Capacity for approximately 20–22 guests
- Two-hour rental window, including setup, ceremony, cleanup, and departure
- Optional officiant recommendations

4 months agoInteresting story behind this chapel, and interesting place to visit. It seems out of place now that it's surrounded by housing and hotels. But it's a cool story overall.

2 years agoIn order to walk and see inside this beautiful Chapel make sure to contact the Port Aransas Museum to reserve your spot the day before the tour as space is limited. Tours are held on the 1st & 3rd Saturdays starting at the museum then moving to the Chapel. The tour is free of charge but I'm sure they would be more than happy to accept a donation if you were so inclined. We were there on a non tour day..... You can visit and wiew the exterior anytime but please be respectful of the property and its neighbors. It is very beautiful and serene, sitting atop a hill.

3 years agoWe visited this sweet little chapel and it really is tiny. We didn’t get to go inside because we didn’t sign up for the tour but you can see everything through the windows. It is beautiful. This is a must see when visiting this beach city and will only take about five minutes.
