The Kemah Water Recreation area is a major tourist draw.
Millions of visitors come each year to visit the Kemah
Boardwalk, ride the wooden roller coaster and other rides, then dine
at the waterfront restaurants. Sailing excursions are offered by a
variety of charter companies operating from the many marinas (Clear Lake
has the third highest concentration of sailboats in one area in the
world!) or can be arranged with Capt Brent, your host, right from your
back door.
There are a many great places to dine in our area. Just east on
518 is Skipper's, a local icon and preferred gathering spot for locals
to have breakfast and catch up on the news. The Outrigger has some
of the best fried seafood and cold draft choices of any restaurant, as
well as a great view of the boat channel from the decks. Have a
cold one and watch the boats come through the channel.
You can visit the NASA space center on the north side of the
lake. Who can ever forget "Houston....we have a
problem". You might want to visit the San Jacinto monument
and battleground, an historical site and defining moment in Texas'
struggle for independence. Situated next to the momument is the
battleship USS Texas. Tours are available and well worth
taking. All within a short drive.
Just south of us is Galveston Island, Schlitterbohn Water Park, Sea
Wolf Park, and the Strand, Galveston's historical business
district. Shops are opening up again after Hurricane Ike and the
local businesses will treat you with our typical Texas hospitality.
Or if you want to stay home, there's a grill on the back patio.
Dine outside, enjoy drinks, and watch the sun set over the water. |
