Mustang-Padre Island NeighborhoodMustang-Padre Island is considered to be the best of Corpus Christi neighborhoods and it is easy to understand why, This neighborhood offers the very best in island living since residents have easy access to both the ocean and Corpus Christi Bay.
Some tips: South Padre Island IS the best of the two. It has better beaches, better accomodations, better restuarants and, in my opinion, friendlier people. However, I love both towns! Corpus is closer to the major cities and more things to do, but SPI....it's just in the smack middle of nowhere.
Due to high windspeeds, Corpus Christi is one of the best cities in North America for kiteboarding, wind surfing, kite flying and sailing. The city has even hosted the Windsurfing World Championships. It has also drawn the interest of the wind energy industry, which is proving to be somewhat controversial.
