Top Tourist Attractions in Corpus Christi & Easy Day Trips
The city of Corpus Christi, on an inlet to the north of Brownsville, has grown in popularity over the years and is now one of the most visited tourist destinations in Texas. Much of the attraction is due to its beautiful coastal setting with many miles of beaches, its important conservation areas, and rich flora and fauna. The area was settled after Spanish explorer Alonso Alvarez de Pineda arrived in 1519, the man responsible for giving the pretty tropical bay its Latin name of Corpus Christi (translated literally as the "Body of Christ"). These days, this attractive city is as likely to be called the Texas Riviera, and for good reason: numerous fine hotels and resorts, along with many exciting attractions and things to do have helped cement Corpus Christi's reputation as a must-visit destination.
