ABOUT CORPUS CHRISTI TEXAS
Corpus Christi is the "Sparkling City By the Sea." Why do people call Corpus the sparkling city by the sea? The bay sparkles on a sunny day. Just look and you will see for yourself.
SEE, TOLD YOU SO
Corpus Christi Bay sparkling.
I can tell you that I have seen the bay sparkle on many occasions. Having grown up right by the bay, it's no coincidence.
So, where is Corpus?
Corpus is a port city located on the Texas coast. It's about a two or three hour drive to the Texas/Mexico border. And from Houston it's a quick three or four hour drive. The drive is not bad at all. Corpus, as the locals call it, is one of the most visited places in the state of Texas.
