Corpus Christi Airport Guide
Corpus Christi’s main attractions are its beaches which stretch out into miles of golden sand lapped by calm water. The beaches have great facilities and are a wonderful place to soak up the sun. Just back from the beach, you’ll find miradors, little shelters with each one having a plaque commemorating an event or person from the city. Behind that, the promenade known as The Bayfront is the place where everyone meets amongst the bars and restaurants. Corpus Christi is home too of the floating museum the USS Lexington whose more recent fame was as an extra in the film ‘Pearl Harbor’
