Corpus Christi is known to be the host of the Windsurfing World Championships. Because of the remarkable wind speeds in the area, it is a center for various water sports and a haven for avid kite flyers. The city’s 100 miles (161 kilometers) of coastline can attract a lot of beachgoers. It has the fifth-largest port in the United States, which was opened in 1926. When Corpus Christi was named in 1519, it was a semitropical bay with lush vegetation. The North Beach is a top tourist destination, and the city has a wildlife refuge, botanical gardens, and nature parks on two offshore islands. Sailing, rugby, hockey, and baseball are some of the most popular sports played here. If you’re visiting anytime soon, scroll down for the best beachfront hotels in Corpus Christi, Texas.
