Texas City

Conveniently situated between metropolitan Houston and the sea breezy fun of Galveston Island, Texas City is a special place filled with engaging things to do. From its restored downtown, home to numerous small retailers and restaurants, to its fishing scene and many cultural events, Texas City has scores of activities to discover and enjoy.

With more than 1,200 acres of greenspace and parks, Texas City is just right for a day spent outdoors. Bay Street Park is a stunning example, with 45 acres that includes a disc golf course, a boat ramp and fishing pond, and the Thomas S. Mackey Nature Center, which offers nature trails and observation points for observing wildlife and native and migratory birds.

Downtown Texas City is a must-see while visiting. The area was revitalized in the early 2000s, and now features numerous small businesses, shops, and restaurants. Enjoy Texas barbecue, authentic Tex-Mex, and other fare at one of many locally owned restaurants. Test your mental fortitude in an escape room at Terror Isle Adventures, or tour the Texas City Museum for a fascinating look at this city’s past. Both are located on popular 6th Street. The stylish strip is also home to dozens of community events, including parades, food truck gatherings, weekend live music, and annual festivals.

Fishing is a big part of life in Texas City, thanks to the country’s largest man-made pier, the Texas City Dike. The 5.3-mile pier extends into Galveston Bay, giving fishing and boating enthusiasts unprecedented access to the bay’s crystal waters. There are numerous amenities along the dike, including covered picnic areas, boat launches, portable restrooms, fishing piers, and beaches. As you enter, check out the adjacent park with a large playground, hiking and biking trails, bike rentals, an 18-hole disc golf course, and more.

Visit Texas City today for world class fishing, Gulf Coast history, and some of the best seafood you’ve ever tasted. Who knows? This could be your chance to catch the big one!
