ABOUT THE CORPUS CHRISTI AREA
Corpus Christi is the largest coastal city in Texas and home to the fifth-largest port in the USA. Known as the “Sparkling City by the Sea,” Corpus Christi was named by Spanish explorer Alonso Alverez de Pineda, who sailed into the bay on the Feast of Corpus Christi in 1519. Today, the city of 442,000 is a popular destination for tourists who flock to both Corpus Christi and the nearby state and national parks of Padre Island and Mustang Island. Woodspring’s extended stay hotel in the region offers access to the city and surrounding area.
Corpus Christi is served by the Corpus Christi International Airport (CRP). The city is a three-hour drive to San Antonio, with Houston located two hundred miles to the northeast. Corpus Christi satellite cities and suburbs include Doyle, Portland, North San Pedro, Robstown, Tierra Grande, Violet, Ingleside on the Bay, Odem, Padre Island, and Mustang Island.
Corpus Christi is home to Naval Air Station Corpus Christi, and the military base is one of the city’s largest employers. As the deepest port on the Gulf of Mexico, Corpus Christi sees much of its income come from shipping, especially in the oil, petrochemical, and agricultural industries. Retail, healthcare, and tourism also contribute to the city’s economy.
Corpus Christi has plenty to offer sun-worshippers, with easy access to the Padre Island National Seashore and the Gulf of Mexico. The Texas State Aquarium and USS Lexington Museum on the Bay are popular destinations on North Beach. Explore the Corpus Christi Botanical Gardens and Nature Center, or go birdwatching at the Hans and Pat Suter Wildlife Refuge. Marinas dot the coastline of the downtown core, while the Outlets at Corpus Christi Bay offer plenty of shopping opportunities.
Fans of collegiate sports can cheer on the Texas A&M Corpus Christi Islanders, who compete in the NCAA Division I. The city has a Texas League baseball team, the Hooks, while the IceRays compete in the NAHL. Sunset sailing races can be viewed from the downtown shoreline every Wednesday, and the local waters offer plenty of surfing and windsurfing action.
Corpus Christi has a humid, subtropical climate. Summers are hot, with highs in the nineties in June, July, and August. Winters are mild, and freezing temperatures are a rare occurrence. Winds from the Gulf of Mexico are common, with an average precipitation rate of a little less than 31 inches of rainfall a year.
