Once a sleepy fishing and shipping village at the mouth of Galveston Bay, the city of Kemah has jumpstarted its economy with an industry all its own. Now with over 2,330 residents, Kemah is home to the "Kemah Boardwalk" a unique amusement park on the Galveston Bay that draws visitors from across Texas looking for fresh seafood shopping and good clean fun. The main attractions of the 35-acre complex are its many fine restaurants, recreational sailing, and amusement-park style rides. A stroll along the boardwalk reveals a wide variety of shopping and midway games, as well as a miniature train that traverses the entire area. A Ferris wheel and 36-foot carousel top off the theme park. Since the closing of Six Flags Astroworld in nearby Houston, the "Kemah Boardwalk" is now the nearest recreational and entertainment park in the Houston area. Named for the Karankawa Indian word meaning "facing the winds," Kemah's location on the seafood rich Galveston Bay, has made it a lucrative fishing, shipping and shrimping village. With the addition of the "Kemah Boardwalk", the city now ranks as one of the fastest growing resort communities in Texas just a couple of minutes from both Clear Lake and Galveston. Once considered a shrimping town, Kemah continues to celebrate an annual August Blessing of the Fleet and maintains an acute ecological awareness of the Galveston Bay estuaries and supports a number of educational and conservation programs. A strong sense of history and community combined with a low cost of living and growing tourism industry combined with convenient access to major urban areas of Houston and Galveston contribute to make Kemah an inviting place to call home.
