Nature & Scenery
The Bayfront
For many who live in Corpus Christi, taking Ocean Drive to work can be a relaxing preparation for a long day or a small reward for having just endured one. Corpus Christi's 3.5-mile-long bayfront seawall has steps similar to those found in stadiums, with one important difference: No admission fee, ever - for fireworks shows, sailboat races or windsurfing regattas, or for fishing or just looking out at the water, the ships and the birds.
Gardens are colorful and serene
