Can't think of a better spot. It's out of the way, on a National Park. You won't see skimpy bikinis and muscle beach dudes. You won't get filet and lobster. You won't see a Bentley parked in the parking lot. What you will see is 20kts of wind on a shallow, protected body of water. You'll see undeveloped beaches for... More

I've made the drive from Houston to Corpus Christi a number of times just to visit Worldwinds and do some windsurfing. Friendly staff and decent equipment - I would recommend them highly

Worldwinds also offers accommodations which are excellent. We stayed in a great condo, close to the beach and not a far drive from the windsurfing spot. All of... More
