One Shoreline Plaza in downtown Corpus Christi, Texas viewed from the Peoples Street T-head on the Bayfront. Also shown is a portion of the seawall that was built to protect the city from hurricane storm surges.
One Shoreline Plaza overlooks Corpus Christi Bay and consists of 2 skyscrapers, north and south, south being the tallest at 411 feet, and the tallest building in South Texas south of San Antonio. It is the most prominent figure in the skyline of the city. Construction was finished in 1988.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Shoreline_Plaza
The 1.75 mile scenic seawall along downtown Corpus Christi was originally constructed after the Legislature in 1921 authorized a property tax to build the protector of downtown from large hurricane surges. In the early 1930s, the City of Corpus Christi decided to extend its shoreline farther into the bay, to just past what's now Shoreline Boulevard. Nearby Water Street, just a city block inland is so named because it was at the waterfont until the seawall was built. The seawall construction began in 1938 and was complete in 1941.
The seawall raised the shoreline elevation to 14 feet above sea level and is a popular attraction to many visitors. Many enjoy the steps of the seawall, which look like a stairway into the bay and has ever since been a popular gathering place. The seawall begins at the American Bank Convention Center and ends at McGee Beach. Along the seawall, visitors will find the Corpus Christi Marina, restaurants, hotels and the Selena Memorial. The eight striking Miradores del Mar bayfront gazebos are copied from similar structures in Morocco, Mexico and Spain and mean 'overlooks by the sea' in Spanish. These gazebos are free-standing and add no weight to the seawall.
Many enjoy the downtown seawall for bicycling, roller blading, birdwatching, strolling and jogging.
