Happy New Year(in advance)!

I will be in Corpus Christi at the end of January 2008; I'd
like to go swimming in the ocean.

Is this possible or will it be too cold?

Thank You.

We are going to CC in late August. We have booked our room at the Best Western Grand Marina Hotel. I've been on tons of sites that show all the same tourist places to visit. But we will be there for five days and want to know of any places to visit or eat or shop at that arent listed. We have a 2 year old so anywhere we go has to be 'kid friendly'. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!!

is dr. rockit's 18 and up?

sorry about the previous question it was incomplete :)

is it 18 and up?

I live in NH but I'm definitely moving to a sunny Gulf location within a year. Corpus Christi looks great on the Net so I'm goin' down next August to look around. Any inside scoops about visiting there? Living there?

How is the beach on north Padre? Seewead? Jelly fish? Oil?
Thanks so much

Hi,
I'm thinking of going to Corpus Christie next weekend (Feb25-27). Is this a good time to go? Is this Spring Break for people? Is there a better time to go? I'd like to renting a car. Is this possible? I want to stay on a hotel on the beach and just kind of relax by the beach for a couple days. Is it easy to get to South Padre Islands? I welcome anysuggestions.
Thanyou,

Has anyone ever stayed in the Beach Houses on North Shoreline Dr (2710) in Corpus Christi? Thinking of going in February 2005. Thanks.

Where is the best (nicest) public beach in this island ?
Does Mustang Island more pleasant than S Padre ?
Thanks

I already ask this question without answer. I try a new attempt.
What is the best route between Houston and Corpus Christi ?
Mapblast suggests the Hwy 59 to reach the 39. But I see on the map the route 35 which is nearer from the coast. Is it scenic : it seems to cross the sea on Port Lavaca and on Fulton.
May be this way desserves to be made even if the travel is a bit longer.
Thanks

My family and I are going to be traveling to Corpus Christi in December and was wondering if my children will be able to swim in the ocean there. Is the water warm enough?

I am thinking to stay at the Quality Inn 3202 Surfside in early November.
Are the area and the beach pleasant ?
Could you describe them ?
Have you a personal experience of the hote ?
Thanks

My fiance and I (25 and 26 years old, respectively) are seriously considering relocating to Corpus Christi. We are spending time there in September to determine if it is for us. We currently live in Orlando, FL, and are ready to move on.

We are active surfboarders. The fact that Corpus is by the beach and gets waves is very attractive to us. We also want to live 20 minutes or less from the beach, and it appears that is possible living in Corpus.

We are both working professionals (I am in Sales and my fiance is an Insurance adjuster), and we hope to find similar careers in Corpus.

I would very much appreciate your feedback on how well we might like Corpus as a new home.

Regards,

Mike

Have you a personal experience of this B&B ?

RAY

Where are the best beach of Corpus Christi ?
Is there a danger to swim there (too much waves) ?
Is it better to be on the mainland or on the Padre Island ?
We will be there in November

Thanks

Could you advice a hotel in Corpus Christi matching the following requests :

- stay in Early November
- on a beach : I mean directly, without a street to cross
- comfortable and clean : 2 or 3 stars
- price : less than 100 $ for a room for two according to the low season
- free parking (I guess it is not selective)
- close to downtown (if there is a downtown) or attractions. I mean with a car.

If you know a very astonishing hotel near Corpus Christi matching the requests I am also interested .

Thanks
