Kemah Boardwalk

Get ready to ride: boardwalk amusements here include a serious Ferris wheel, a roller coaster and a tower ride among numerous others. The carnival-like atmosphere comes complete with step-right-up and try-your-luck games, fun food stands and bayside dining and drinking. If you decide to book a ride on the Beast (adult/child $17/14), a 70ft, 70mph jetboat, you will get wet.
