Corpus Christi is also home to several of the most popular and intriguing museums in the coast bend area, including the Texas State Aquarium, the Corpus Christi Museum of Science and History, and the Art Museum of South Texas. Across the bay is the town of Port Aransas on beautiful Mustang Island, with miles of shell-strewn beaches and delicious seafood.
