Texas Mesquite BBQ and Grill

Head out toward the Island to experience the food and environment of the Padre Island Burger Company. This popular hangout serves up some amazing gourmet burgers - we recommend the Mr. Beckham - and the atmosphere here is laid-back and nothing short of island chic. Live music and great drink specials also add to the Burger Company's appeal.

Be sure to catch the next Blue Angels air show at Naval Air Station Corpus Christi and Naval Air Station Kingsville. The two sites alternately host the show, featuring the military's most important aircrafts strutting their stuff, along with a few other crowd-pleasing attractions. It may be wise to invest in some earplugs, those jets are loud!

Visit Oso Beach Golf Course to play a game on one of the city's award-winning municipal golf courses. Watch out, because the wind is certain to put some kinks in your game.

Tour one of the largest ranches in the world today, the renown King Ranch, now covers 825,000 acres—more land than the state of Rhode Island. Tours showcase the inner workings of cattle handling, along with the property's historically significant buildings. This is the ranch the 80s TV show "Dallas" was modeled after. Although you won't find JR, you'll find plenty of history on the King family, who created the empire.
