Bolivar Beach

Bolivar Beach is just over 90 miles from Houston, but it's well worth the trip, especially if you plan on staying for a few days. The pristine beach is located on the Bolivar Peninsula, which needs a 15-minute car ferry ride from Galveston Island's east end.

Long walks along Bolivar Beach are a great way to take in the natural beauty of the peninsula while also keeping an eye out for the many bird species that call it home. This is a beach where you may relax in your beach chair and umbrella while enjoying to the gentle waves crashing on the shoreline. If you want to stay for a few days, there are several RV sites on the Bolivar Peninsula, and you can drive right into the beach. Getting to Bolivar Beach is easy and enjoyable, especially since you can take a ferry ride that usually includes watching pods of dolphins along the way.
