Getting Around
If traveling by car, you will likely
arrive in Corpus Christi on one
of three roads, SPID, Interstate
Highway 37, or by crossing the
Harbor Bridge. Once you are in
Corpus Christi, you may want to
learn the local lingo to help you get
around. Here’s a quick lesson:
SPID - South Padre Island Drive
is often referred to as “S-P-I-D”
by the locals, however it is more
commonly marked as Texas
Highway 358. SPID will take a
visitor from central Corpus Christi
to Padre Island and our Gulf
Beaches.

Intersecting with SPID is Texas
Highway 286, also called the
Crosstown Expressway or simply
“Crosstown” by the locals. The
Crosstown Expressway will take a
visitor from SPID to the Downtown/
Bayfront area or I-37.
“The Island,” as the locals call it, is
the north part of Padre Island which
stretches for miles and miles along
the southern part of the Texas Gulf
Coast. Take SPID Eastbound to get
to the Island.
