Discovering Corpus Christi: Coastal Adventures, Culture & Culinary Delights

In this episode of Big Blend Radio’s “Wander the World with Sharon" Podcast, award-winning travel writer and photographer Sharon K. Kurtz explores the vibrant coastal city of Corpus Christi, Texas, where sun, sea, culture, and history come together.

From horseback riding on the beach and fishing along the coast to visiting the South Texas State Aquarium, Sharon shares firsthand experiences that showcase the city’s outdoor lifestyle and natural beauty. 

The conversation also dives into Corpus Christi’s rich cultural heritage, including the USS Lexington, Selena Museum and Memorial, and nearby King Ranch, one of Texas’ most iconic historic sites. Add in a thriving arts scene with mural trails and art walks, plus a delicious mix of seafood, barbecue, and local cuisine, and Corpus Christi emerges as a destination that rejuvenates the spirit year-round—especially during the quieter shoulder seasons.
