HERPS Corpus — Exotic Reptile & Pet Expo

Slither into something unexpected on your next day trip from the coast. At the RMB Fairgrounds in Robstown, just outside Corpus Christi, the HERPS Corpus Exotic Reptile and Pet Show draws collectors, curious kids, and animal enthusiasts from across the region for one of the largest exotic-creature expos in South Texas — with well over a hundred tables showcasing reptiles, amphibians, insects, and more creatures than you can count. It's a genuinely wild way to spend a morning or afternoon away from the shoreline. After a day of scales and surprises, the quiet coastal pace of Cinnamon Shore feels especially sweet — and Beached Inn will be right there waiting, salt air and all, ready to ease you back into beach life.
