Soak up the sun and Gulf breezes in Bay Area Houston – where “Baycations are better!” Midway between Houston and Galveston, the region attracts visitors for fresh seafood (like at Tookie’s, pictured below), water recreation, stunning nature preserves and one-of-a-kind attractions.

Located only 15 miles from Hobby Airport, this charming bayside region consists of four cities along the coast line of Clear Lake and Galveston Bay – Kemah, League City, Nassau Bay and Seabrook.

Set sail into your Baycation on Clear Lake, a 2,000 acre lake connected to Galveston Bay. Clear Lake is the nation’s third-largest pleasure-boat basin, and is a popular destination for fishing and water sports. With a number of rental companies in the area, it’s possible to charter different kinds of crafts for a day out on the sea. Whether you’re looking to dolphin watch from a sailboat or take a casual day cruise.
