15 Best Things To Do in Corpus Christi, Texas

Picture of Corpus Christi, Texas

About Corpus Christi, Texas


Sporting an interesting name, Corpus Christi is one of the lesser-known cities in Texas, but that doesn’t mean the city doesn’t have any notable attractions or recreational spots. The region was established when Alonso Alveraz de Pineda, a Spanish explorer, came here in 15916. He was also responsible for naming the city Corpus Christi, which translates to the Body of Christ.

Today, the city has a number of fine dining spots, entertainment activities, and natural attractions, such as the Padre Island National Seashore, which spans over 130,000 acres of land with sand dunes, beaches, and grasslands that are home to local animal and plant species.

The Texas State Aquarium is also in Corpus Christi, its most popular display being the Dolphin Bay, where the underwater observation space lets visitors see Atlantic dolphins.
