Why Galveston when you can enjoy Bolivar Peninsula's 27-mile stretch of beautiful coastal land with the Gulf of Mexico to the south and the Intracoastal Waterway extending north? The peninsula, which is rich in history, is named after South American hero Simon Bolivar, who led South and Central Americans to fight for their freedom against Spanish rule. Natives once inhibited the area as Bolivar explored the land, as did Cabeza de Vaca and pirate Jean Lafitte. Bolivar has since turned into a well-loved tourist destination famous for its beaches, fishing, birding and more, and with Memorial Day Weekend upon us, now is the perfect time for a quick trip to Bolivar.
