Neighborhoods

Come visit Padre Island any time of year to enjoy a great blend of culture, nature, entertainment and miles of beaches. The mild semi-tropical climate and warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico offer outdoor enthusiasts the ideal location to enjoy activities such as fishing, birding, sailing, golf, windsurfing, kiteboarding and so much more! Just over the bridge you’ll find Corpus Christi, which offers great shopping, eating and attractions such as the Texas State Aquarium, USS Lexington, Art Museum of South Texas and competitive sports teams like the Corpus Christi Hooks, Icerays Hockey and Division I Texas A&M Corpus Christi.

It's situated right on the intracoastal waterway so there are great views, good food, and typically live music. You can go upstairs to the restaurant then head downstairs to Waterline for drinks, games and live music.

This is my personal favorite! Located in Port Aransas, or Port A, as the locals call it. Excellent food, great ambience and the location can't be beat - right in the midst of a boat marina. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled on the water for dolphin sightings!
