Houston - Day Trips
Dip your toes in the Gulf of Mexico, or experience small-town Texas charm in Old Town Spring, both just an hour's drive from town.
Houstonians bolt from town at the weekends, heading to Galveston Island for a laid-back beach weekend of shopping on the Strand and lounging in the sand. The boardwalk fun of Kemah includes a Ferris wheel ride overlooking Clear Lake and Galveston Bay, carnival games, and alfresco dining on seafood from the Gulf. A sedate stroll through Old Town Spring is sure to please antique lovers, while Lake Houston promises excellent fishing and watersports.
