Coastal Bend, TX

Welcome to the Coastal Bend of South Texas, where land, sea, tourism and industry all coalesce. Anchored by the thriving city of Corpus Christi, this stunning region also includes the charming and vibrant communities of Aransas Pass, Ingleside, Port Aransas, Portland, Robstown and Sinton.

With a population of over 375,000, the region offers residents the best of both worlds: small-town hospitality and big-city amenities, including excellent schools, abundant job opportunities and a supportive business climate.

When the weekend rolls around, you can enjoy miles and miles of beautiful beaches and bountiful outdoor activities from windsurfing and kayaking (GlowRow is a must!) to fishing and cycling. With a rich coastal culture, there is also no shortage of fresh Gulf seafood to be found here. Events and festivals across the region tie the community together, providing myriad opportunities for diverse groups to gather, celebrate and connect.
