The Corpus Christi area is a great place to live, especially if you like the water. This is one of the best fishing areas in the country. Most beaches are accessable to the public becsuse they are considered public highways. The area enjoys a strong economy mainly because of the booming oil business. The Port of Corpus Christi is the tenth busiest in the country. I have heard criticism from outsiders that the area is poluted by industry, however I neither see nor smell any evidence to support that statement. On the contrary, fish and birds are abundant and no prohibition on eating fish from the bay exists.
Downside, humidity is usually around 80% most days and temps range from low 50's in the winter to the 100's in the summer. Stay in the shade and the wind will keep you cool. Average wind speed is 12 mph.
Dining here is relaxed and casual, jeans and boots. Seafood is abundant, BBQ has it's own local flare and the TexMex is worth the drive.
