Baycations are Better
Whether you’re here for business or play, a week
or a day, baycations are just better.
Live it Up in League City
League City also has the third-largest boating anchorage in the
U.S. thanks to the many on marinas at Clear Lake. There’s plenty
of opportunities to rent kayaks, paddle boards, deck boats or wave
runners at local aquatic-centric businesses. For those who prefer land,
League City also has 620 acres of public parks for exploring. For some
history, check out Butler Longhorn Museum, which is dedicated to
telling the unique story of Milby Butler who played a crucial role in
saving the iconic Texas longhorn cattle from extinction. The museum
showcases a one-of-a-kind collection of western art and artifacts.
You’ll find the treasures of League City Historic Shoppes, a collection
of boutiques with everything from antiques and rare books to home
and garden accents.
Breeze into Kemah
Kemah is a Karankawa Indian word meaning “facing the wind,” an
appropriate name for this city that enjoys the refreshing salty breeze
off of Galveston Bay. Kemah is well known for its boardwalk—named
one of the country’s best by CNN Traveler. Offering a year-round
summer-festival vibe, Kemah Boardwalk is a feast for the senses, with
heart-pounding amusement rides, waterfront dining from fine-dining
to fast, and a host of shops that offer clothing, gifts and sweets. It’s a
great way to spend a weekend or a week with friends and family.
