Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This is the most popular spot on the bayfront walk, in the Mirador on Peoples Street in the Marina. Her music is usually playing, and people are excited to have their photo taken with Selena (especially now with the Netflix series). Since I live just a couple of miles from here, this is on the route of my daily bike ride. You will likely encounter a few homeless people, but they usually keep their distance. Most (but not all) people are wearing masks during the pandemic (I suggest brining one).

My visit to the Selena Memorial was bittersweet. While I appreciated the mutual respect among visitors, the crowded atmosphere, unflattering statue, and difficult-to-read engravings detracted from the experience. The memorial deserves better upkeep to honor Selena's legacy appropriately.

It was very nice to see this memorial. A gentleman named Mario, who watches over the site, was there the night my niece and I visited. He shared some history about Selena. It was great to learn more about this beloved musician who was taken to soon from the world.

If you're a fan, love her music, maybe like the movie JLo did, then you must visit this spot. Its a beautiful statue, for a beautiful girl, who lived fully. Not super crowed on a Sunday Morning. Take a stroll to the statue and then walk around the promenade.

I could know her when I googled Copus Christy. I visited on Wednesday, September 30th. I saw a lot of people. I parked my car in a street. I took a picture. Great Statue and location. It is Free! Please visit.

Nice place. Roads were nice and clean.
Nothing much to do but take a couple of pictures.
We walked by the bay and took more photos.
Best time to go, first thing in the morning when the sun does not burn your skin.
Convenient parking.

Not a Selena fan but as a music lover I had to make a stop here. It's in a beautiful location right along the waterfront and if you go early enough you can park easily right in front of it. The memorial itself is quite good and attests to the love of her fans. Recommend checking this out if your in Corpus Christi.

I finally got to visit the Selena statue in Corpus Christi. The area where it stands is lovely. The intent is lovely. The actual statue itself does not do Selena any justice at all. That’s why I couldn’t give it 5 stars. I’m surprised the family accepted this statue. The eyes are all wrong. Selena was beautiful, and this statue is just not very flattering to her or her memory. I was very disappointed. I think Selena would be disappointed too. Selena deserved better!

My fiancé and I hate that this statue is on the walking path of the sea wall. Any enjoyment we could possibly have by walking on the bay is tainted by huge families crowding up that area, blaring loud tejano music, not watching there kids run in front of you or in the street which is normal for south Texas child rearing, and just being loud and obnoxious. Sorry folks, Selena was mediocre at best, just like south Texas.

Selena may of been a wonderful person and talented artist, yet it's sad to see the hagiography that's sprung up around her and her often annoying fans.
The statue is pretty tacky and looks cheap (but with a wonder bra) while being covered in seagull droppings. While you're there you'll typically be accompanied by trashy, over-the-top Selena fans who are crying, wailing and taking a million pictures as though they're visiting a holy relict or something.
If you're in Corpus, it's worthwhile going just to be amused by the people visiting it, but it's sad to see what's happened to her legacy.

Grave site, no. It is a little hard to find because there's no signs showing where it is at. The museum does have a cost but it's like less than 5 dollars.

do you have to cross any main bridges to travel from San Antonio to Corpus Christi?
Written 19 November 2016
No bridges other than overpasses along I-37. In fact I-37 empties out onto North Shoreline Blvd just a few blocks from the Selena statue on the corner of Shoreline Blvd and Peoples Street. Shoreline is a divided Blvd so keep in mind that Selena in on the Bay side. Easy to find and plenty of free parking on the T-Head at the end of Peoples St. Its a quick walk to the statue. By the way, Landry"s restaurant is on the T-Head. Harrison's Landing is also on the T-Head. I would not recommend eating there. There are many more restaurants around the downtown area. Long John Silvers is better than Harrison's Landing. You can read my review on that place. I hope I have answered your question for you. Enjoy your visit.

On the bayfront, on N. Shoreline Drive. At the entry to the People's Street T-head. Parking available along curb on Shoreline.

You asked about "facing west." Her body faces south, but she looks east. No real reason why she is on that side except maybe better viewing as pedestrians approach along the sea wall.

So, James tell me if you can! What were you looking for in this (small) Statute tribute to the "Queen of Tejano Music," of Selena Quintanilla. I believe, you are missing the whole symbolic and purpose of the "Selena Quintanilla statute. From your comment(s) you only focused on the features of her image and it's location, I'm I correct so far. What the symbolism of what Selena accomplished in her "short life time" as a young and talented 'minority woman.' Who brought pride and accomplishment to her Latin culture as the "first" Latina who proved that she could dare break open a male dominated and controlled Tejano music industry/business. When, I saw this image of her James, this is WHAT I only saw!!! I think, you need to go back and take a Second look at Selena.

Is Selena's Statue maintained on a regular basis by the City of Corpus Christi tourism department? And if not by whom then?
Written 31 December 2014
I'm sorry, I am not local to Corpus Christi so I don't know the answer. I googled and could not find an answer. I did locate the phone number to her Museum, and Q-Productions. The phone number is:(361) 289-9013. They are not open on the weekends. The Corpus Convention Visitor Bureau's site gives their phone number as: 1-800-678-6232. Hours of Operation:
