In the early 1900's, Kemah was a small fishing village on Galveston Bay known for gambling.

This tree-filled bayside community has retained its small town charm in the wake of new development. The world-class Boardwalk is filled with the finest waterfront restaurants, and it offers rides, attractions, amusements, shops and much more. Dozens of local shops and galleries line the way to the Boardwalk and marina. 

Kemah is surrounded by magnificent water views and history.

Nearby you can find the Space Center, Galveston beaches, San Jacinto Monument Park, Battleship Texas, IMAX, Moody Gardens, Texas City Dike (longest man made fishing pier), outdoor musicals, Seawolf Park, Gulf Greyhound Park, Armand Bayou Nature Center, Galveston's Historical District, and The Strand.

Kemah is an Indian word that means "Wind in the face" and there is a constant breeze in Kemah, even when Houston is sweltering in the summer heat. It is wonderful fun and a delight to spend time shopping for exquisite and charming items in the many one-of-a-kind shops in Kemah on 6th, Kipp, and Bradford Streets, for instance, and then to eat wonderful food at the many restaurants. Children enjoy the train that runs through the waterfront, and the huge carousel, and the other fun available, while parents enjoy the diverse shops and restaurants that are in abundance. Whatever your taste, come to Kemah for real family fun. You will truly make wonderful, spectacular, fun-filled memories in the treasures of your mind and on film in beautiful, family-oriented Kemah, Texas!
