Hotels: Corpus Christi Texas Hotels And Motels
admin
Corpus Christi is a Texas coastal town that welcomes visitors in the winter and the summer. Like other coastal towns in Texas, Corpus Christi has had a fair share of hurricanes, however, the town has always bounced back admirably. Currently, most visitors know the area as a naval air training base, but there is also a strong petroleum industry.
Corpus Christi is where the Mexican singer Selena was shot and killed in 1995. Since that time, the city has kept her memory alive by naming an auditorium after her called the Selena Auditorium at the Bayfront Convention Center. There is also a museum dedicated to the singer with many of her belongings on display.
What Else Is There to Do in Corpus Christi?
There are hotels and motels in Corpus Christi, but most of the people who visit this town are interested in fishing or some other form of water sport. However, these activities are usually done at Padre Island, which is right across the channel. There is an art museum in Corpus Christi with an interesting collection from Philip Johnson.
Other places to visit are the Texas State Aquarium and the Corpus Christi Museum of Science and History. Since Corpus Christi is on the water, the Science and History museum also takes the time to explore shipwrecks. Speaking of ships, the USS Lexington, a World War II aircraft carrier, can be seen here, as well as the Columbus Fleet. The Columbus Fleet is a life-sized exhibit featuring the Santa Maria and the Pinta.
