Corpus Christi Coin & Currency

Stop by the Texas Surf Museum, where they enlighten the world with the unique culture and history of Texas surfing, encourage the community to experience the fun, accessible and healthy lifestyle of surfing and related board sports, and educate everyone in proper conservation practices to protect and preserve the beaches, bays, and waterways of the Texas Gulf Coast. As the only surf museum in Coastal Bend, it is a must-see for anyone who has ever surfed and a delightful adventure for non-surfers. Relax on a bench made from surfboards, catch a surf film in the projection theater, and spot old buddies and young stars in the hundreds of photos scattered throughout the museum.

South Texas Botanical Gardens & Nature Center showcases colorful and unusual plants, including cacti, hibiscus, roses, plumeria, and orchids. Explore the Arid Garden, Water Garden, Sensory Garden, Butterfly Garden, Hummingbird Garden, and the shaded Bird & Butterfly Trail. Take the opportunity to mingle with fluttering butterflies, who will often stop and rest on an available arm or shoulder. Be adventurous and hike the nature trail through 30 acres of native brush to see native plants, deer, javelina, and coyotes.
