The Texas City Dike extends far into Galveston Bay to retard shoaling of the Texas City Ship Channel. As a side benefit, it provides an excellent recreational area for sailing off a sandy beach. The north shore is most often the leeward side during the summertime. |
| The tall-ship Elissa, berthed in Galveston, periodically cruises up the bay. Shown lying at anchor off the Houston Yacht Club, this visit coincided with the annual Elissa Regatta. |

Weekends on Clear Lake, home to nearly 10,000 pleasure boats, can be just a bit crowded. Act sensibly and have fun on the water. |
| Offatts Bayou, on the bay-side of Galveston Island, is a premier cruising destination on Galveston Bay and the Texas Gulf Coast. An area large enough to anchor 200+ boats on a holiday weekend with deep (10-20 feet), clean water, the bayou is well-protected and provides easy access to Galveston's many attractions. |
