   Texas town, Corpus Christi, has always stood the chance of experiencing harmful effects from a Gulf hurricane and damaging storm tides. The city is built by the bay and looks to Padre Island, an undeveloped low-lying barrier island, for its only protection from the weather. After an early 1900s devastating hurricane, the city looked to design a seawall barrier.
   Today the city of Corpus Christi has vastly improved the seawall that follows the Shoreline Boulevard. The Bayfront walkway, captured here in a late evening view, provides a delightful two mile walkway along the McGee Beach and the Corpus Christi Bay. The Bayfront area offers scenic views of the bay which is often lined with yachts and fishing boats. More are attractions include the USS Lexington, a floating museum, the Padre Island National Seashore, bay cruises, and some of the best Port Aransas deep sea fishing. There's a long list of ideas that could only lengthen your stay in the Sparkling City by the Sea.
