Things To Do in Corpus Christi, Texas

While the natives have a lot to complain about, they all stay for a reason, and the tourists also come for several notable things. Each area of Corpus Christi is unique, and all these areas come together at ‘the bluff’, formally known as Flour Bluff. Downtown is about 12 miles northwest of Flour Bluff and it provides a unique mix of crack houses, company warehouses, sailors and port managers, immigrants from Mexico and across the sea, and elaborate mansions overlooking the sea.

Corpus Christi is a pleasant coastal city with a beautiful skyline and lovely beaches. When you are looking for a house to purchase, I recommend house hunting on Ocean Drive. The homes there are gorgeous with lush vegetation, eye-catching beach views, and sparkling pools. It would be best if you also prepared for hurricanes, as each year we usually endure at least one hurricane warning.

In addition to the delicious waffles and suave cowboy boots that are so representative of Texas, Corpus Christi has a beautiful beach and amazing music. Whether it be fishing at the pier or listening to Selena, there is so much that Corpus Christi offers and as a result, creates a unique, diverse culture.

To the west of the air base is Texas A&M University Corpus Christi. This is a 4-year college with no football team, but a lot of school spirit for basketball and volleyball. The college owns nearly all of the island it occupies and is known as ‘the island university’. The result is a small ‘college town’ area surrounding this island.
