The Ferry

This toll-free, 2½ mile trip from Galveston to Port Bolivar offers a great view of Seawolf Park, the Bolivar Lighthouse and the Intracoastal Waterway. Either drive onto the ferry or park and ride. Expect the ubiquitous laughing gulls and local dolphins to accompany you. During Mardi Gras, spring break and other special Galveston events, anticipate long waiting lines both ways.
