The Lighthouse Inn at Aransas Bay

The Texas Sealife Center dedicates its time and effort to creating a haven for native wildlife who live on the property and patients in need of care. Their mission is to rescue injured or stranded coastal and aquatic wildlife, providing supportive care and rehabilitation, successfully releasing wildlife back into their natural habitat, and educating and promoting public awareness in the conservation efforts to save wildlife.

An architectural gem on the city's bayfront, The Art Center of Corpus Christi is home to 11 arts organizations, and showcases works from local and area artists in rotating exhibitions. The 14,400-square-foot building houses a main gallery and four studios, including a clay studio that encourages artists to complete works-in-progress in front of visitors. The Art Center also offers art classes, to express your own creativity in photos, watercolors, oils, sculpture or other media. Workshops, outreach projects and other events to promote the arts to the public are an integral part of the Art Center of Corpus Christi as well.
