Things to Do
Texas's answer to Key West. South Beach even. It didn't get the tag "Texas Riviera" for being asleep at the wheel. A seaside vacation town to rival any jet-set Caribbean hideaway. Cosmopolitan nightclubs, or tropical restaurants. Intimate beachwalks, or world-class guided fishing trips. Head Downtown to the swank 21 martini bar, then over to Executive Surf Club for some live tunes to swing around. Hungry? Try La Bahia on Mesquite Street for some homemade Mexican. Remember, we're in the land of Tex-Mex cuisine here, it's hard to miss a beat. Like Dolphin swimming in the wild blue sea? Take the Dolphin Connection boat ride. Got kids? Check out the cool underwater glass tunnel at the Texas State Acquarium. If deep sea fishing's your thing, head to the Corpus Christi Marina, charter a boat, and Fish On!
