The southeastern coastline of Texas is where you will find the waterfront city of Corpus Christi. This sizeable city is a part of Nueces County, where it is the county seat.

The city belongs to the Corpus Christi Metropolitan Statistical Area, where other prominent cities include Aransas Pass, Portland and Robstown, as well as the towns of Bishop, Ingleside, Mathis, Port Aransas, Rockport and Sinton.

Lake Corpus Christi is a prominent local landmark and is located just past the town of Mathis, being roughly 40 miles / 64 km to the northwest and connected by Interstate I-37.
