Browse over 1,300 pieces of Mexican and Southwestern art at The Art Museum of South Texas. The museum is located in downtown Corpus Christi, in a building that could be considered a work of art itself.

Stroll through La Palmera Mall, the premier shopping destination in Corpus Christi to find your new favorite clothes, shoes, accessories, perfumes and more in stores like Macy's, Dillard's, Forever 21, Bath & Body Works, Coach, Charming Charlie's, Payless, American Eagle Outfitters, Nine West, Victoria's Secret, and more. Its recent $50 million transformation brings a mixed indoor/open-air lifestyle center and gorgeous landscaping in honor of its name that means "Palm" in Spanish.

Stroll through meandering pathways that connect 12 Victorian homes at the Heritage Park & Cultural Center. Visit the 100-year-old Galván House, the national award-winning center that provides a variety of cultural programs throughout the year, and is also the site of outdoor festivals, concerts and other activities you will want to see. Originally, the area was known as 'Irishtown,' until severe damage from the Hurricane of 1919 swept away most of the homes from the area. The enclave of relocated houses tells the story of many well-known families who helped build and steer the city. Take a self-guided tour and look inside the homes during operating hours of the non-profits that occupy them. Guided tours are also available during the week.

Play the first oceanside golf course that renowned designer Arnold Palmer ever created. Palmilla Beach Golf Club is a links-style course that offers a par-71 game over its 6,985 yard expanse. It's settled between the Gulf of Mexico and Corpus Christi Bay, so beautiful views of the water are guaranteed.
