Texas' Gulf Coast holds all kinds of natural and manmade wonders that deserve discovery. Case in point: Corpus Christi Bay is home to dozens of native bird and fish species, while its shores shelter abundant wildlife and numerous plant families.
One of Texas' largest permanent residents also lives in the bay — "The Blue Ghost," otherwise known as the USS Lexington Museum. On board, take a smartphone tour of the ship, watch a show on Pearl Harbor unfold with light and sound, fly a mission in the flight simulator and more.
There's plenty to check out during your visit to Corpus Christi.
This WWII-era aircraft carrier served in nearly every major operation of the Pacific theater. Today it sits proudly along Shoreline Boulevard, welcoming all generations who are curious to take a step into the past.
