Captain Bananas served hamburgers and other fast food during the 1990s until about September 1999 from the building that once housed the "dime store" in the 1940s and later a junk shop on North Beach in Corpus Christi. Captain Bananas faced Surfside one block west of the North Beach shoreline and directly behind the old Sunset Courts. There were three tourist courts in that same block, Sunset Courts, Shoreline Courts, and one other that was owned by a retired postman named Kunkel from Austin, Texas.

A new look for North Beach. Visit Corpus Christi's North Beach and you will find a new look. Instead of wooden tourist courts, run-down sourvenir and bait shops you'll now find a large new aquarium with ample parking for tourists and the U. S. S. Lexington permanently resting within walking distance of the shoreline welcoming visitors.
