Portland is a small waterfront city located directly across the Nueces Bay Causeway from Corpus Christi. A thriving coastal suburb, Portland’s landscape is mostly covered by low-key residential neighborhoods, with large shopping centers lining Highway 181 as it passes through the center of town. Corpus Christi Bay offers great opportunities for boating and fishing, and the Gulf beaches of Mustang Island and Padre Island are only a few minutes away by car. With the city of Corpus Christi just a short hop over the bridge, Portland is a great option for commuters seeking a more tranquil home environment.
