Every Wednesday night of the year, sailors meet at Coopers Alley L-Head and participate in Wednesday Night Regatta. These evening social regattas have been going on for years, for good reason: the race starts at 6 p.m., so sailers and onlookers get fantastic views of the sun setting over Corpus Christi Bay.
Any time of year is perfect for this outdoor, floating restaurant. Surrounded by sailboats, you'll have the perfect view of downtown Corpus Christi while you grab a bite to eat in the heart of the Corpus Christi Marina. Great live, local music adds to this quaint outdoor experience.

Open since 1990, the Texas State Aquarium's mission is to engage people with animals, inspire appreciation for our seas, and support wildlife conservation. Each year, the Texas State Aquarium brings the stories of marine and coastal animals and their habitats to life through its many exhibits. Each and every visit to the Aquarium opens the door to new and exciting animal discoveries and reminds us of our responsibility to those whose world we share. In addition to its engaging exhibits and presentation, the Aquarium also reaches over 77,000 children each year through its education programs and contributes to meaningful research and conservation programs around the world. Through its Second Chances Wildlife Rehabilitation Program, the Aquarium is also able to rescue and treat hundreds of sick or injured animals every year and release them back into their natural habitats.
