Food scene

Great local spot that offers fresh food, great drinks and even allows kids* and pets! This brewery is only a 5 minute drive from our Airbnb. The brunch menu is phenomenal. I highly recommend the Eggs Golden or the Cubano on the dinner menu. *curfew for kids at Lazy Beach is 8pm.

Local favorite on the water with views of the Lexington! Its mostly seafood, and can be a little pricey. Food is pretty good, and sometimes they have a band playing. It is the only restaurant on North Beach and a fan favorite after spending the day visiting the Texas State Aquarium or USS Lexington.

If you like history or like exploring cool places, check out the Lexington! Here you are able to explore the ship, below deck and the flight deck. There are 5 self guided tour routes, a 3D theatre, escape rooms and more! They even have a cafe on board and you can eat there on the ship. Rumor has it the Lex is haunted! Sometimes the local paranormal society hosts events to ghost hunt! Prepare to spend a few hours here and grab some food at Pier99! They have great seafood and out door seating with views of the "Blue Ghost." pro tip: wear tennis shoes! This was a military ship so there are lots of ladders and can be a little claustrophobic down below deck. It is not handicap friendly, and if you have a hard time with stairs or ladders, I do not recommend visiting. People typically spend 2-5 hours here, there is lots to see and interact with. It is one of our favorite things to go do, even as locals.

This is my favorite place in town! It is calming, serene, and my kids love it! The TSA has a Gulf of Mexico side where you can learn all about the sea animals we have right here in Corpus Christi as well as a Caribbean side with several different underwater views! They have a Starbucks, a 4D theatre and snacks to get you through the day. The gift shop has all kinds of things to pick from and at decent prices.
