Depending on what time of year you're here. It stays hot here until around November! We usually wear layers and add or peel as necessary! Corpus is a very 'casual' city. Whatever you put on a Jelly fish sting if you're going to the beach! Most beach gear can be rented locally for a reasonable price. We have lots of great places on the bayfront to roller blade

"Corpus Christi, TX"
"Brief Description"
In 1519, Spanish explorer Alonzo Alvarez de Pineda discovered the semi-tropical bay area along the present day coast of Southeast Texas. He called this area Corpus Christi (Body of Christ) due to its discovery on the Roman Catholic Feast Day of Corpus Christi. After starting life as a frontier post, among other events, the city eventually incorporated in 1852. Since then, Corpus Christi has served as large distribution channel for SE Texas (and the US) regarding agriculture, processing (e.g. petroleum), and packaging of goods.
Corpus Christi is the largest port city along the Texas coast. It's also the 6th largest port in the United States.
