Far West Side

While visiting Far West Side, you might make a stop by sights like Aquatica San Antonio Waterpark and Ingram Park Mall.

Far West Side
Neat way to drive into Corpus Christi, the bridge is much more illuminated in the distance. Other odd thing is all of the oil industry lights blink at the same time and there are thousands of them. Very cool.

North Beach

North Beach is known for its stunning beaches, and with sights like Texas State Aquarium and USS Lexington Museum on the Bay, you won't get bored spending a day wandering around this part of Corpus Christi.
