Friday night in Corpus Christi means baseball under the lights, as the CC Hooks take on the Amarillo Sod Poodles for a spirited Día de los Hooks Weekend matchup. The gates swing open in the early evening, the crowd settles in, and once the final out is recorded, a Bud Light fireworks show lights up the sky — a proper send-off for a night well spent at the ballpark.
It's an easy thirty-minute drive from Port Aransas, and after the last burst fades overhead, Beached Inn will be right there waiting — porch light on, salt air rolling in off the Gulf, and the quiet of Cinnamon Shore a world away from the city buzz.
