Sleeping
Dare we say it: you may want to opt for the beach-town charms of Port Aransas for your
slumber and visit Corpus as a day trip. But there are also good options near the water here,
and the parks on Padre and Mustang Islands all have camping facilities.
Super 8 Motel
( 361-884-4815;

;
411 N Shoreline Blvd; r $70-140; )
No surprises here, but
you will find decent, budget rooms in an excellent downtown location, smack bang
between the T-heads and the nightlife of Water St. The pool is probably more inviting than
the limpid waters across the street.
