Pick a Spot

Kayaking - North Bay

The great thing about Corpus Christi is that there are a variety of awesome places to start your kayaking adventure from. From North Beach on the Corpus Christi Bay, you can hit up a fun bayside restaurant like Blackbeard’s for some post-kayaking drinks and bites. From Padre Island, you can depart from Snoopy’s Pier and wind your way through the canals on Padre Island and Laguna Madre. The North Packery and South Packery Beaches on Mustang Island offer beautiful scenery and ideal conditions for all levels. Both beaches are also well-known spots to partake in kayak fishing. Mustang Island is the place to go if you are in search of a relaxing time on the water where you’ll kayak an 18-mile strip of picturesque beaches with nearby restaurants in Port Aransas. Finally, the Bird Island Basin is known for its warm, shallow waters. Here, beginners can learn the basics alongside windsurfers.
