The Neighborhood:
With its calm and tranquil waters, the Bay is the perfect place for fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding, and more.

Getting Around:
Make sure to get your beach parking sticker from major retailers before hitting the beach.

Other Things to Note:
The water heater 'ON' switch is located by the kitchen sink.

The peninsula is reachable by the Western ferry and Eastern bridge. Travelers from Houston take Interstate 45 to Galveston, then take the free Galveston-Bolivar Ferry on a 20-minute ride to Port Bolivar, where the Bolivar Lighthouse rises 117 feet above sea level.
