Corpus Christi - Jazzy Explores Texas← Back to Map

Corpus Christi

Named Corpus Christi in 1519, it's sometimes called the "Real Windy City." With sails against a sunset sky, the Wednesday Night Regatta is quite pretty.

Enjoy the Texas State Aquarium or the USS Lexington on the Bay, or cross onto Padre Island for a sun-and sand-dune-filled beach day.

Buccaneer Days is a festival where you can party like a pirate. The South Texas Botanical Gardens provide some calmer peace and quiet.
