Leave South Texas behind and enter the Irish land of Cassidy’s Irish Pub, where the dimly lit atmosphere, dark wooden walls, and brass wall hangings give the feel of 100% Irish authenticity. Cassidy's provides a good selection of spirits and beer with Guinness on draft, so ask the bartender to pull one out of the tap with a white, foamy top. While you're relishing your delicious drink, relax and enjoy the local and regional live music offered every week.

Selena Quintanilla-Perez was an amazing Tejano singer who truly made a lasting impact on people all around the world. She was affectionately known as the Queen of Tejano Music, and it's no surprise why. Her music was incredible, and even today, her legacy remains alive and well through her timeless songs. One of the most beautiful ways that Selena is remembered is through the Selena Memorial Statue, also known as Mirador de la Flor or Overlook of the Flower. This stunning memorial serves as a tribute to this incredible artist. Be sure to visit the Paseo de la Flor, the walkway below the memorial. Here, you can see homemade tiles created by South Texas school children and senior citizens, making it a truly special place to visit.

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.
