Overview

North Beach is a kitesurf spot located on the north shore of Corpus Christi Bay, north of the ship channel. The beach offers direct access to the bay with moderately deep waters. North Beach is near the USS Lexington Museum and the Texas State Aquarium, in a tourist area with good infrastructure. The bay offers fetch for the dominant SE winds, with choppier conditions than on the Laguna flats.
