Bay Beaches
Corpus Christi Parks and Recreation maintains two bayfront beaches set along Corpus Christi Bay. Both North Beach and McGee Beach offer natural beauty with close proximity to the city's downtown, marina, and local attractions.
Gulf Beaches
Corpus Christi Parks and Recreation partners with Nueces County and the State of Texas to manage Gulf Beaches. Mustang Island State Park, North Packery Beach, Whitecap Beach, and Padre Balli Park offer endless recreational opportunities for visitors and locals.
