If you are planning to the Gulf Coast on your Texas vacation, the Corpus Christi area offers over 100 miles of beaches, including the beautiful Padre and Mustang islands.
Known as the host of the U.S. Open Windsurfing Regatta and attractions such as the U.S.S. Lexington and the Texas State Aquarium, Corpus Christi is connected to Padre Island. The city has a population of around 277,000 and is located in the middle of the Texas Gulf Coast.
The U.S.S. Lexington was used to film a part of the movie Pearl Harbor, starring Ben Affleck, Josh Hartnett and Alec Baldwin.
Port Aransas, located on Mustang Island south of Corpus Christi, offers beautiful beaches, horseback riding and exceptional bird watching along the Great Texas Coastal Birding Trail.
