Many people say that the best things in life can be had for free, and this is definitely true most of the time. At least, one of the best things that you can do when visiting the Bolivar Peninsula is to take a ride on the Galveston Bolivar Ferry. It is a joy and a pleasure that can be had absolutely for free.
Of all the things there are to do on the Texas Gulf Coast, riding the ferry between the east end of Galveston Island and Port Bolivar is my favorite. I'm not sure what I like the most about it. Maybe its the gulf breezes, even if it has a touch of diesel exhaust mixed with it. Or it might be watching the big freighters coming in and out of the Houston ship channel. Or maybe the occasional bunch of porpoises jumping ahead of the boat, maybe feeding the gulls off the stern of the ferry. Probably all of those and the biggest reason of all.
Riding on a ferry has other advantages. Urban residents, workers, and tourists often find themselves experiencing unexpectedly breathtaking views of magnificent vistas they never knew existed so near to where they live and work. Beauty, too, is part of a livable community and ferryboats help make it happen.
The ferry ride has become known to be one of the most scenic – and even the most romantic – rides on the Texas Coast. What makes the ride so romantic? The ride on board the Ferry boat offers a truly majestic view of the coastline and both Galveston Island and the Bolivar Peninsula, while crossing one of the busiest harbor entries in the world to the Houston Ship Channel. |  |
