Corpus Christi

There aren't many sites in the United States where the ocean can give you a warm hug, but Corpus Christi is one of them. Corpus Christi is the state's most significant coastal city, with a view of the Gulf of Mexico. The beaches range from calm oases surrounded by dunes to crowded stretches of sand ideal for surfing. Plan a boating or fishing trip if you can't get enough of the warm water!

However, the city also has many other water-themed attractions, such as the famous Schlitterbahn Riverpark and an aviation museum located aboard the SS Lexington, the world's oldest remaining aircraft carrier.

In Corpus Christi, there's also the Texas State Aquarium, where you and your family may see aquatic life up close! Book a day at one of the town's day spas to amp up your relaxation before you return home.
