Kemah's tourism industry is anchored by Kemah Boardwalk, a dining, shopping and entertainment center on Galveston Bay. Located 20 mi (32 km) southeast of downtown Houston, Kemah Boardwalk is a popular weekend destination for Houstonians and vacationers alike. Several waterfront restaurants offer dining experiences that range from seafood and steak to Mexican cuisine. A myriad of amusements line the boardwalk, including a 36-foot carousel, a 65-foot ferris wheel and a high-speed boat ride. One of the boardwalk's many events, Kemah's Rock the Dock Concert offers a variety of musical performances from May to September. The shopping options in Kemah are diverse, providing an array of gifts, clothing and art. For visitors interested in exploring Galveston Bay, fishing trips, sunset cruises and sightseeing boat tours are available.
