Corpus Christi, Texas is a city of fun by the sea and a whole lot more. Sparkling Corpus Christi Bay is home to the Corpus Christi Municipal Marina, the city’s crown gem, which is protected from the elements by the sandy barrier islands that dot the Texas coast. From here boaters have easy channel access to the Gulf of Mexico from famed Port Aransas. Here you’ll also find the USS Lexington where you can take a tour, learn about “The Blue Ghost”, or pick up some souvenirs at the onboard shop. If you’re up for some adventure, try visiting Padre Island National Seashore, which encompasses over 100,000 acres of undeveloped, vanishing barrier islands, some of the last of their kind. You can also try the Texas State Aquarium to learn about exotic local marine wildlife and environmental conservation. For those wanting to sample some culture, the Harbor Playhouse has a long-standing reputation for local talent. Heritage Park and Cultural Center is also a great place to learn about the artistic and cultural diversity of Corpus Christi and the surrounding area. Similarly, the Corpus Christi Museum of Science and History is a great place to view historical collections that emphasize the uniqueness South Texas. And if you like festivals, every spring brings the Corpus Christi Festival of the Arts, where you’ll find live music, dancing, theater, film, and numerous art displays. There’s even something for the lovers of birds and botanicals. The Great Texas Coastal Birding Trail offers numerous observation platforms linking over 300 birding sites, and the Corpus Christi Botanical Garden is full of walking trails, birds, flowers, and wetlands.
