Where to stay in South Texas

Default Image

Cinnamon Shore

Cinnamon Shore
Downtown - Riverwalk which includes heritage architecture, boating and a river or creek

Downtown San Antonio

The stunning river views and popular shops are just a few highlights of Downtown San Antonio. Make a stop by San Antonio River or Alamo while you're exploring the area.

Downtown San Antonio
Brief vacation trip to north Padre Island, Corpus Christi, Texas.  We spent an afternoon at Malaquite Beach in the national seashore. This little submarine is outside our favorite kitschy souvenir store.

Padre Island

While visiting Padre Island, you might make a stop by sights like Whitecap Beach and Bob Hall Pier.

Palm Harbor

Palm Harbor might not have many top sights, but Rockport Beach Park and The Gallery of Rockport are two attractions nearby that you can check out.

Palm Harbor
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.
