The Daytripper

The town of Kemah may be small, but it’s just one tiny piece of the massive establishment that is Houston, and part of the Houston subset known as “Bay Area Houston”, consisting of Kemah, Clear Lake, La Porte, League City, Nassau Bay, Seabrook, & Webster. In truth, it’s very difficult to visit one without visiting the others. And why would you want to? This area is packed with Daytripper goodness.
