Settle down in the “Yachting Capital of Texas”
Originally built as a vacation destination for Houstonians and residents of Galveston County — Clear Lake Shores is a small island city that has become a permanent home for generations. Neighbors driving their golf carts around and coastal breezes wafting through the Texas air while residents get ready to cruise the waters are how days are spent here. "Locals call it our little slice of paradise, like living on a vacation," says Priscilla Duffy, a Realtor with Bay Haven Realty who's lived in the area for the last 18 years. "Clear Lake Shores is very community-based. We all have each other's back. What's funny though is sometimes when I see my neighbors walking around, if I don't know their name, I absolutely know their dog's name." Just 35 miles from Houston, Clear Lake Shores offers a laid-back coastal lifestyle and draws families, retirees, pilots and medical professionals for its easy commute to the city. "
Many Clear Lake Shores residents like to spend the weekend on the water.

Early mornings at Lowell Brown Fishing Pier
Water brings the community together at one of the dozens of nearby member clubs for boating and yachting, including Carefree Boat Club Clear Lake, which offers unlimited boat usage and Clear Lake Yacht Club. In the mornings, residents cast their line out for redfish at Lowell Brown Fishing Pier, and marinas are available for wet slips for those without boat docking; however, locals aren't just surrounded by blue—there are greenspaces, too. A favorite spot for solitude among residents to watch the sky melt into the horizon is Sundial Park, and Deep Hole Park offers shaded picnic areas and a playground. Additionally, the city is just 8 miles from Armand Bayou Nature Center and Nassau Bay Peninsula Wildlife Park, the go-to place for birdwatching along its trails.

A summer of thrills at Kemah Boardwalk
"We love to get together to compete in BBQ and gumbo cookoffs, and there's even a fishing derby for the kids on the island," Duffy says. During the evening, Jammin' on Jarboe is seven Saturdays of Texas Blues, jazz rock and country tunes at the Paul Shelley Pavilion. For over two decades, the lads of the island have cooked breakfast for the community during Mancakes in February. That same month was the Mardi Gras Golf Cart Parade and Gumbo Cookoff. Weekly festivities include board game days at the clubhouse and yoga classes. With the Kemah Boardwalk about 1 mile east, locals can access the bay's premier amusement park and dozens of events ranging from free concerts, a crawfish festival, a boat parade and a jam-packed 4th of July celebration.
Kemah Boardwalk is right next to the Clear Lake Shores neighborhood.
