If you want to make the Gulf breezes more colorful, pay a visit to Fly It and select from the wide variety of kites, windsocks and flags. The very helpful and knowledgeable owner has operated in Port A for decades and even rebuilt after Hurricane Harvey. Beware, though - you won't walk away with just one item!

The University of Texas Marine Science Institute

Free admission to see tanks displaying sea horses, eels, oysters, fish and other marine life.

Reviewed By beachboywantabe - Corpus Christi, United States

We did not go inside because it was not open when we were there. But the main reason for our stop was to see Kent Ullberg’s sculpture “Interdependency”. At first glance you just see a tarpon, impressive enough. The tarpon is the symbol for the town of Port Arkansas. But look closer and you will see within the body of the tarpon a variety of different marine life. There are several other fish, several birds, a sand dollar and a crab. The habitats of all are interdependent, and the life of one species depends upon the other. Thus the sculpture is named “Interdependency.” If you go to the Corpus Christi bayfront you can find several of Ullberg’s sculptures, as well as In Rockport
