Cinnamon Shore
Brief vacation trip to north Padre Island, Corpus Christi, Texas.  We spent an afternoon at Malaquite Beach in the national seashore. This little submarine is outside our favorite kitschy souvenir store.

Padre Island

While visiting Padre Island, you might make a stop by sights like Whitecap Beach and Packery Channel.

Padre Island
Neat way to drive into Corpus Christi, the bridge is much more illuminated in the distance. Other odd thing is all of the oil industry lights blink at the same time and there are thousands of them. Very cool.

4/5(605 area reviews)

Located on the El Rincon peninsula, this Corpus Christi area boasts the Texas State Aquarium, USS Lexington, and a 1.5-mile-long beach with a 10-foot-wide Beachwalk for leisurely strolls.
