Portland, TX

united states

Portland connects Corpus Christi to the coast via Highway 35 and 361, sitting on a peninsula between bays about 15 miles from downtown Corpus Christi. Most traffic uses Highway 181 from I-37 or takes Highway 35 from Victoria. The Gulf breezes and steady winds have attracted wind farms that dot the horizon. The city's 40-foot concrete sombrero at Gregory Park hosts the annual Windfest celebration.
