The aquarium is pretty cool....the battleship, but it has a leak, there is plenty of foodie places to try, and the beach is there as well.......

We have done it all but usually stay at the hotel on mustang island and hit the beach

<---------- was there earlier this week. My favorite thing to do in Corpus? Come home to DFW.

Texas State Aquarium, USS Lexington, the beach, eat good Texas seafood, experience real South Texas Tex-Mex, watch a baseball game at Whataburger field, visit the two story Whataburger downtown, fishing on Bob Hall pier.

it's a beach/fishing town so take advantage

Go across to port aransas hang out on the beach. It is still red snapper season, book a fishing trip, I just went on a 10 hour trip down there and had a blast.

Lived in the area for 5 years. Wanted to move after a couple of weeks..lol

Food...
Mexican food
Senor Jaime's on Everhart is excellent!
Burger
Hurbs Burgers at Weber and Sartatoga
Wallbangers on Staples.
Italian....
Frank's Spaghetti House on Leopard St...a must when in Corpus! Not in a good area of town but went there many times and never had a problem. They have very limited hours so plan accordingly!
Steak...
Republic of Texas top floor of the Omni Hotel...$$$$$$ but really worth it if you like a pretty fancy dinner with a very nice view at sundown! We tried to plan going with about an hour of day light left so we could watch the boats and then sunset.

Outside of Corpus
Trout Street Bar & Grill. 104 W Cotter Ave, Port Aransas, TX view of the boat docks and pretty good food.

Pop's Place 202 Park Road 13 Rockport, TX 78382..looks like a total dive..really good food but be aware...they are on island time so they don't get in a hurry! But the food is worth it!

Thanks guys, I checked out the beach, it's was decent. I'm at Señor Jamie's getting some food. Thanks again for the help!

What's rent like here on the south side? The south side is the only part or Corpus I would bring my family. There is some shady areas around here.

I'd pretty much stay on the beach in Port Aransas. Plenty of good seafood around, just walk into any place.

stay in port aransas its the best beach..

Wish I was there this evening. 2 enchiladas with chips and queso....:drool:

As for rent....WHY would you want to move there? The area is about 10-15 years behind on the pay scale. We lived in Portland and you can get a decent place 3/2/2 for $850-$1000. You could not pay me enough actually live in Corpus. Northern Mexico, drivers suck and traffic is a nightmare anywhere that is decent enough to live.
