North Beach Floundered Throughout the 1960's and 70's, and Many of It's Once-Thriving Attractions Were Torn Down or Closed. But, Beginning in the Late 1980's, the Area Began to See a Resurgence with the Opening of the Texas State Aquarium, followed by the U.S.S. Lexington Museum On the Bay in 1992, Which Would Become Two of the Largest Attractions in the Coastal Bend. In 2011, Property was Secured and the Construction of Fajitaville On the Beach Began, with a Vision of Returning Visitors and Locals to Historic North Beach. In 2013, the City of Corpus Christi Completed a 1.5 mile Concrete Beachwalk, Stretching the Length of North Beach. Finally, in 2015, a Beachside Ferris Wheel Was Reopened at Fajitaville On the Beach, the First in Over Half a Century.
