About This Beach
Corpus Christi’s Gulf Beach stretches along the eastern shore of Corpus Christi, offering true Gulf of Mexico surf conditions compared to the calmer bay beaches. The beach features wide, clean sand with moderate waves ideal for boogie boarding and beginning surfers. Multiple access points with parking make the beach easily accessible for visitors. The area includes several beachfront parks with picnic facilities, restrooms, and shower stations. The beach is connected to the city’s bayfront area by a scenic drive around the peninsula. Local ordinances prohibit vehicles on most sections, creating a safer environment for pedestrians and families. The beach offers excellent views of ships entering and leaving the port channel, adding maritime interest to the typical beach experience.
