Houston
Kemah Boardwalk - Houston is a lively town
that anyone can enjoy. But perhaps you would like
to step out of the hectic big city life with it's
congested freeways and head somewhere that is a little
slower paced but just as exciting. Go on down 1-45
south to Nasa Road 1 and head east. You will dead
end into the tiny, picturesque hamlet of Kemah, Texas,
nestled in between Clear Lake and Galveston Bay. Kemah
is lovely and quiet with little to no crime. On the
bay just under the Kemah Bridge is the Boardwalk.
The Boardwalk has something entertaining
for everyone. If you love to shop and can't resist
the urge, Kemah has specialty retail shops where you
can buy anything from surfer apparel to one of a kind,
beautiful Christmas decorations. Antique shops are
in abundance and on the weekends, the Back Bay Market
is a fun place to shop for crafts and unique flea
market finds.
Kids and their parents will love the 35 acre amusement
park atmosphere on the Kemah Boardwalk.
It has a 36 foot carousel, 65 foot ferris wheel, a
miniature passenger train and a high speed boat ride
called Joe's Boardwalk Beast. Walk out on the midway
and you can test your knowledge and strength with
the many games that are available.
On weekends, the Kemah Boardwalk
is alive with musical acts and festivals. During the
summer you can enjoy the Rock the Dock outdoor concert
series or the Jazz Festival. Boo on the Boardwalk
is alot of fun during October and Christmas in Kemah
starts in late November with a boat parade in December.
Of course, no outing anywhere in the Houston area
would be complete without lunch or dinner in one of
the restaurants. Kemah has ten, including seafood,
Mexican, a steak house, pizzeria and a coffee house.
You can eat indoors in the beautifully decorated establishments
or outdoors on the patios where you can enjoy your
meal while watching the sail boats flutter out into
Galveston Bay.
