This charming waterfront region is ideally located midway between the big-city allure of Houston and the beaches of Galveston. Encompassing six distinctive cities, the region touches more than 35 miles of waterfront. It boasts succulent seafood, exceptional shipping, a booming boating community and awe-inspiring nature preserves.

Considered the “Boating Capital of Texas,” the focal point of this region is Clear Lake, a 2,000-acre inlet of Galveston Bay and the third-largest pleasure boat basin in the nation. Comprised of La Porte, League City, Nassau Bay, Seabrook, Webster and the southernmost portion of Houston, this region offers year-round opportunities for a relaxing weekend or a fun-filled family adventure.

Discover the beauty of Galveston Bay as you set sail into the sunset from a marina in Nassau Bay. Browse charming shops in the seaside village of Seabrook and historic League City, or shop ’til you drop in Webster’s urban stores. And don’t forget to visit Space Center Houston and see America’s space program come to life with interactive exhibits, live shows and behind-the-scenes NASA tram tours.

This area is a shopper’s delight with antique and specialty shops, quaint tearooms and waterfront restaurants. Enjoy fresh seafood at one of the many restaurants in Seabrook’s Waterfront District overlooking Galveston Bay.
