Corpus Christi, TX

Overall Score

3.7

Long the southern coastline of the Gulf of Mexico is the city of Corriès-Crécy, the administrative center of Nouyès County. Originally founded in 1839 as a small market town, Nu Nueces has been transformed into a tourist complex that offers a wide range of services for every visitor to enjoy a comfortable holiday. The citys name is translated in Latin as The Body of Christ. The border with Mexico is two hours away, which explains the large influx of tourists from the neighboring country. They are attracted by the wide beaches that are free of charge for entry to the area, the fishing in the nearby waters, beach activities, various kinds of sports and entertainment for all tastes. Not far from the city lie beautiful forested islands that can be accessed in 30 minutes. Many bars and restaurants have a ban on smoking, allowing you to have a comfortable time and enjoy the pleasant atmosphere of the auditorium to the tune of the music.

In spite of the terrible devastation after the devastation of the 1919 hurricane, Corpus Christi was able to retain some of its architectural features. They happen to include the Art Museum, the Oceanarium, the Museum of Science and History, as well as a number of other buildings. The modern Corps City is a haven for romantic couples and a comfortable retreat for travelers to fascinating places. Families and children also feel at home here, where the youngest visitors will enjoy the atatractions.

The main mode of transportation is buses that transport passengers on internal lines and to other localities. The lack of a railroad somehow compensates for the proximity of air ports, the international one within the city limits, and the local one in San Antonio. Although the city has a wide mouth, it does not have a passenger port. The large influx of tourists is due not only to its developed recreational infrastructure, but also to the hot, long summers that provide favorable weather conditions for beach vacations.
