This monument is located on the seawall and near Norma Urban Park. Please take the time to check out everything the area has to offer. There are also historical plaques and other works of art located in the area. I thought the memorial statue was very well done. There is an audio recording informing of Selena's rise to fame as well as her accomplishments. Visiting here was on my bucket list while on vacation in Corpus Christi. Don't pass on the opportunity to see this celebration of Selena.
I'll admit, I don't know the first thing about Selena; but moving to Texas has shown me that I NEED to look into her. I did tons of research and was shocked by what I found. Beautiful music, a tragic story, so seeing this memorial was a must for me. It's beautiful. The scenery around it, the way they designed it, it's just really nice. Parking is pretty easy along the street to walk to see it, you also get an awesome view of a harbor and boats. If you're into bird watching, there tons of birds hanging around. We even saw a couple dolphins which was awesome! If you're visiting Corpus Christi and don't want to pay to go to the museum; this is a great alternative.
When in Texas... We didn't have time to make it to the Selena museum, so the memorial statue was a must. Just look for the cars along the walk and the elite truck, and you'll find the way. There was a man making roses out of palms to sell for the queen of cumbia. The views were nice and there was a snowie down the way. Perfect tribute, as the memorial talks and gives a quick explanation. 2021 #62
Nice memorial for such a talented young singer. Picture spot for sure especially for her fans.
Ive been coming to this memorial for years and I have loved it!! She was such a beautiful soul and this statue does her justice. The beauty of the beach in the background makes it all That much better. This is a tourist stop that everyone stops to go and take a picture here. I highly recommend going in the evening to watch the sunset afterwards because the views are gorgeous. We went during the 4th of July parade and had the best view for the fireworks!
This is a great memorial to honor Selena. Singer with her life cut way too short by useless sense of tragedy and guns. You should stop by and see it if you get a chance here in Corpus Christi
When in corpus christi tx, paying respect to the queen of Texans and cumbia by visiting the Selena Memorial statue by the bay is a must. Very well put together and classy, this memorial is worth a visit and photo centric.
Selena Quintanilla-Perez was known as the "Queen of Tejano Music". She was a Grammy Artist. It's too sad she was tragically murdered by the leader of her fan club. Selena was 23 years young. She is actually buried about 2 miles from here. City of Corpus Christi Selena Memorial; Mirador De La Flor is the full name of this monument. It is located at Peoples St and N Shoreline Blvd. Just follow the road near the Gulf and you will find a white building with arches. This Lookout of the Flower, where the monument is, overlooks the Gulf of Mexico. It was unveiled in 1997. In 2000, there was a barrier placed around the pillar where her statue, white rose, and plaque are. They want to deter graffiti and vandalism. I wouldn't be surprised if there were also cameras to keep watch over the area. There is a 5'8" bronze statue of Selena and a recording which plays in a loop about her. A Corpus Christi artist named H.W. Tatum sculpted this statue. It is painful for parents to lose a child and there is a tile on the ground with a sentiment from her parents. It says, " We will never forget you -Love Mom and Dad". There are stairs leading down to the lower level of the walls of this memorial. There are about 5 or 6 mosaics of white roses down there. White Roses were her favorite flowers. The one tiled sign says "These floral tiles were hand-painted by Texas children who loved Selena". I missed this the first time I went. Then, my son-in-law's family wanted to look at the monument and I took the chance to walk down the steps to see them. Glad I got to see them! I'm not a Selena fan, but I was told I should look for it and I found it. If you are ever somewhat near there, you should go also!
I literally was in tears reading all the heartfelt messages at this memorial. I felt mesmerized by city and their love for Selena.
Beautiful sculpture of Selena and a large Rose. A fitting tribute to someone taken away from this world with so much more to accomplish. There is a plaque and an audio explanation of this C.C. native. Located right by the harbor/water walkway.
A nice memorial statue, free to visit, right on the water. (This is not located next to the museum, as I first assumed). Definitely worth visiting if in the area.
The Selena memorial statue is a beautiful tribute to the late singer. Located off of N Shoreline Blvd in Corpus Christi, when you're standing next to it, you feel the breeze from the water and it kind of calms you and makes you feel like, maybe, just maybe she's there with you. This is definitely a stop for anyone in the area who is a Selena fan. The bronze statue also plays music and talks about Selena's life and legacy in both English and Spanish. There are bricks which people write on and leave messages to Selena, mostly that they miss her and hope she's resting in paradise. I would have brought a marker had I known, however, please do not write on the actual memorial itself. You'll see a sign there indicating this as well. You can park right along the street (for free) to pay your respects to the fallen singer. It's one of the many places in Corpus Christ that help keep Selena's memory alive. Selena Vive!
Such a lovely memorial to pay tribute to a talent taken far too soon. In addition to the statue, the sculpture has inscriptions with information about Selena, quotes, etc. Everything is house in a lovely pavilion right on the bay in Corpus. A recording also plays with a woman narrating information and facts about Selena. It's not only a beautiful piece of art but educational as well. read more

If you're in Corpus Christi, you absolutely should take the time to visit the Selena Memorial statue. Whether you're a fan of Selena, her music, or the impact she made on Mexican-American culture, it's a meaningful way to pay homage and appreciate her legacy. Corpus Christi honors her beautifully, and you can really feel the pride the city has for their hometown icon. The memorial is right on the water, and at night the lights illuminate it, making for stunning photos and video. It's peaceful, memorable, and truly worth the stop. Highly recommend taking a moment out of your day to visit. read more

I got to see it. I love & truly miss Selena. There's not many good Tejano music anymore. Just to be there and to see her statue made my day, wished I was able to get out and really enjoy her the way I enjoyed her music. read more
I was impressed by the statue and its details but they need to keep it cleaned up, maybe even have an audio running by pressing the button for those that do not know her.The location is right by the water. Parking near the statue may be tight. For those that knew her it is a must visit place. read more

When I decided to go to Corpus Christy, I learned Selena's songs, life, and tragedy. I watched her movie played by Jennifer Lopez. I found her statue here in Corpus Christy. I visited on Tuesday, September 29th, 2020. I still could see many fans. Even I saw a little girl. I parked a car at N.Shoreline Blvd. The ocean views were great. I took pictures. Selena Forever! read more

My dream has come true, since I was a little girl I loved Selena, I had every magazine she was in. I memorized every song she sang and watched all her music videos. I ordered the catalog for her store and wished I had money to had ordered clothes from her shop. After she passed I was so hearbroken and cried for months and always wished I could one day go to Corpus Christi, to see where she grew up and loved so much. I finally did it. As soon as I arrived, I went to see her statue and I felt her presence, her light was around, her spirit, her smile imprinted into my brain. You can't miss going once in your lifetime, she lives forever. read more

Just the mention of Selena is worthy of 5 estrellas. I thought it would be cheesy but it was well, emotional. A beautiful, talented singer gone way for soon. I swear the waves of people coming to pay respects to the queen is never ending. There is not only her statue but also a rose. There is a recording of her bio in English and Spanish that replays over and over. Definitely worth the stop for any fan of Selena. read more

I actually didn't know Selena was murdered in Corpus Christi and buried here. The Days Inn she was murdered is 5 miles up and her burial site is 5 miles from her memorial statute. Interesting things about Selena: - Her parents were convinced they were having a boy. The name they had chosen was Marc Anthony - She was raised as a Jehovah's Witness - She was buried in the purple outfit she wore to the 1995 Tejano Music Awards just a month before she died read more
After visiting the Selena Museum in Corpus Christi we decided to travel over to the Selena Memorial Statue. When we arrived the weather was beautiful and the scenery around the memorial was gorgeous. The memorial itself was breathtaking and a true homage to her legacy. It was nice to spend time at the memorial and since my wife is a huge Selena fan, this trip was something she had been wanting to do for the better part of her life. read more

The Selena Memorial was beautiful and understated. I was impressed. I do consider myself a fan of Selena but I didn't expect it to bring me to tears - I think a lot of it was the music playing, which adds tremendous beauty and impact to the memorial. I was glad to be wearing sunglasses on the beautiful Corpus Christi sea wall because some tears were shed. It just felt so loving and reverent. Definitely a neat experience to come to Corpus Christi and be able to take a few moments to remember this wonderful star. read more
