Houston is located within easy driving distance of the Gulf of Mexico. Most Houstonians
drive to Galveston to enjoy the ocean. Galveston Island has many hotels and restaurants
and special events through out the year. The weather is nice most all year round,
so the swimming season is long.
Houston is also within an easy drive of San Antonio and Mexico. Houstonians drive
to Mexico to shop and vacation across the border. There are some great bargains
available.
