Lake Corpus Christi State Park
Lake · Texas
About this swimming hole
Lake Corpus Christi's state park sits in a no-wake zone, making its swim area safer than most big-lake beaches. The 21,000-acre lake is one of Texas's largest, and the park's cove is calm and family-friendly. No lifeguards are on duty, but the no-wake rule keeps boat traffic down.
