About Kemah

Kemah is one of the most vibrant and recognizable waterfront communities on the Texas Gulf Coast, anchored by the iconic Kemah Boardwalk — a sprawling entertainment complex featuring restaurants, amusement rides, and one of the largest marinas in the region. This small but mighty community delivers a unique coastal lifestyle that blends year-round entertainment with genuine waterfront living.

The real estate market in Kemah features waterfront homes and townhomes with stunning views of Clear Lake and Galveston Bay, many with private docks and direct water access. The community attracts a mix of full-time residents, weekenders, and investors seeking short-term rental income from the area's strong tourism traffic.
