How to Spend a 24-hour Staycation in San Leon, Texas
If you’re looking for a waterside getaway near Houston, Galveston isn’t the only answer. Space City is close to several coastal cities or waterside towns that can make what is a short drive feel like thousands of miles away. Irreverently described as a “small drinking community with a large fishing problem,” San Leon is an ideal staycation getaway around 45 minutes from Houston. Known for its fresh seafood, recreational and commercial fishing, and its no-frills, storied bars, this sleepy peninsula town is much more chill than its nearby Galveston and Houston counterparts, and according to many locals, that’s just how they like it. So, in the spirit of San Leon, here’s a dining and drinking guide that is by no means a race. Instead, consider it a leisurely stroll through some of what San Leon has to offer — whether you’re seeking a simple escape from the hustle and bustle of the city or a chance to enjoy some quality seafood by the water.
