We start our tour on the T-Heads. Peoples Street T-Head is a popular area for finding the freshest shrimp in the area. After long days at sea, the shrimpers return to sell their bounty to the public. While visiting, don't forget to take a tour of the bay and port areas aboard the Gulf Clipper or the Flag ship. These tours offer the best views of the area. Afterward, enjoy a taste of Corpus Christi at any one of the fine restaurants located right on the T-Heads while taking in the views of the skyline and the bay.
