Bay Area Houston
|
NASA’s Johnson Space Center, where America’s astronauts are based, is located in this 125-square-mile area surrounding Clear Lake and Galveston Bay. Boating and water sports are major recreational pursuits here. Old Seabrook, Historic League City, and the Kemah Shopping District are filled with specialty gift stores and unique cottage shops. Other seafaring possibilities could be a relaxing day spent exploring the bay on a peaceful charter cruise or an exciting deep-sea fishing excursion.
