'''[http://www.corpuschristicvb.com/ Corpus Christi]''' (called Corpus by the locals) is [[Texas]]'s largest coastal city and the gateway to [[Padre Island]]. While Corpus Christi isn't on the way to much of anything except itself (and the islands off its coast), it offers enough to fill a visit in its own right, or a multi-day trip from [[San Antonio]], [[Austin]], or [[Houston]]. The name is Latin for "Body of Christ".

*Corpus Christi has many '''small parks''', such as '''Artesian Park''', scattered throughout the city. For those into the paranormal, Artesian Park is another reportedly haunted Corpus Christi locale.

*'''The Bayfront''' is the downtown area along Shoreline drive, which is formed of concrete steps leading down to the water's edge. It is essentially the heart of Corpus Christi and is a terrific area for family evening strolls or running alone in the early morning. It extends over two miles from Magee Beach along the Marina and T-heads, past the American Bank Center (stadium/coliseum) to the Art Museum of South Texas and the port area. Vendors may occasionally be found here selling cotton candy or renting pedicabs or pediboats. Festivals such as Buccaneer Days ("Buc Days" by the locals) and the Fourth of July celebrations are held here with fireworks being fired out over the water. Some of Corpus Christi's best known restaurants are located only a block away on Water Street.
