Where is Corpus Christi, America?

As we mentioned earlier, Corpus Christi is located in Texas. The North American state has other cities with curious names, such as the popular “Paris,” whose name was even made into a movie. The classic “Paris, Texas,” from 1984, doesn’t show the city, but mentions it, leaving the location prominently in the script.

But, returning to Corpus Christi, the city is located in the southeastern part of the North American state on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. Corpus Christi is known for its beaches, harbors and maritime activities. Additionally, the city is home to several tourist attractions, including the USS Lexington, a World War II aircraft carrier-turned-museum, and the Texas State Aquarium.

What to Expect When Visiting Corpus Christi, Texas?

If you prefer to visit the city, you can prepare yourself for the best historical monuments tours and nature experiences. Among the tourist attractions, as mentioned earlier, the USS Lexington and the Texas State Aquarium are highlights. The first was a WWII aircraft carrier converted into a floating museum. You can explore the ship and its interior and see exhibits on war stories.

The second monument mentioned is the Texas State Aquarium, one of the largest aquariums in Texas. There are dolphins, sharks, sea turtles and a variety of fish, which attracts people of all ages. In addition to the ever-present attractions, guided tours, programs specifically designed for educational purposes, and animal shows can be scheduled and checked out.

In addition to attractions, Corpus Christi’s beaches are an attraction in themselves. North Beach and Padre Island National Seashore are well-known, offering plenty of space for swimming, sunbathing or even water sports.

What is the population of Corpus Christi?

According to the latest data released by the United States Census, the population of Corpus Christi is about 320 thousand people. When compared to cities in Brazil, we feel that the population is very close to Florianópolis, the capital of Santa Catarina with 515 thousand inhabitants.

Although Florianopolis has a slightly larger population than Corpus Christi, the two cities share similar characteristics, namely important urban centers in their respective regions, located on the coast and economies strongly influenced by tourism and marine-related activities.
