Our hotel desk staff in San Antonio recommended Corpus Christy Beach for a day trip, we went, spent the big part of a day there and look back on it as being one of the best parts of our vacation. The beach was clean, the water was nice but a bit cool (April) and the people there were very friendly... More

Disappointed with the beaches here. Parking permits for city beaches are $12 for the year, not bad if you're a resident, but visitors don't get a good value. Bring something to secure your real estate, the wind is crazy mostly year round... More

The Beach Loop is a real treat, especially for out of town guests and visitors and gives a lovely introduction to the beauty of this area. It has one of the few beaches in the USA that you can drive along the seashore. If you are in Corpus, start by driving down Ocean Drive which runs along the bayfront and... More

Take a drive down Ocean Drive to get a feel for Corpus at its best. Go early or drive at sunset. More
