Labonte Brothers Park! This is a sun bleached stretch of…read morepark just north of Corpus Christi where you can go and possibly fish under a bridge. The park is basically a turn around next to the Nueces River, that goes around I-37. The park has been messed up for a while as they go and replace the bridge that goes over the Nueces. They're making it a higher bridge, and have the whole place torn up. There's no trees or any shade. The park offers a bunch of picnic tables that overlook the river. If you're a fisher, it'd be a good place to grill up some river catfish. There are no restrooms here. No running water. Dogs are welcome here. You can probably run them off a leash, as I hardly ever see anyone here. Just make sure they don't jump in the river.

People camp out here and all. This is the area where the famous Nueces River ends and empties into the Gulf of Mexico. It runs alongside the back part of the park. Passing by here you can see the number of people walking around and enjoying the sounds of the river as it makes its way over the final embankment and into the bay.

This park is part of the Aransas Pathways, an organized kayaking route. There's picnic tables here, which are covered. They surround a picturesque beach made of crushed oyster shells where it's a shallow approach to the shallow bay. It makes for a good place to go fishing or swimming, or launch a watercraft. There's no full boat launch available, just portable hand towed stuff. There's no real big lawns to run and play on. It's not suitable for a soccer game or flying a kite. Mostly stuff surrounding the Copano Bay and waterfront activities! There's a restroom here, a portapotty. The park is clean and well kept.

I love the smell of the salty fishy air! The further you go away from the jetty, the clear of the water and the nice or the beach.

They were so attentive to our two boys, and the boat is pristine and so much fun on the water. If you're wanting to fish, cruise, lounge or sight see - or better yet, all of the above, the deck boat is a great option, especially for families or for little ones who might be a little timid on a boat. It was my son's birthday, and when we returned with the boat, Donna was waiting and singing him happy birthday. They were also so genuinely kind and excited when my son told them about his 50 pound black drum catch on his last cast. He especially will remember our day on the water forever. Don't hesitate to rent here, you'll have the best time!

You can bring your coolers, chairs, umbrellas and all you need in the back of your car. Then just pull out onto the beach and unload. It is a very nice place.

(In fact, Corpus Christi was quite dig friendly on the whole.) The Gulf winds bring a lot of trash onto this beach, so don't expect raked beaches of Mexico or pristine shoreline of Costa Rica. Instead, consider pitching in. The visitors center offers bags and Dumpsters. For me, an hour or two of trash pickup was fun since I'd be walking the beach anyway. It was also appreciated - I got a sew on patch :).
