There are generally two ways to get to an island: by bridge or by boat. Well, three: by bridge, by boat or by plane. Well, four if you want to get technical... Never mind.Bolivar Peninsula is just East of Galveston Island and the quickest way to get to and from the thin stretch of land is to ferry across, car and all. It's quite an experience for land lubbers like us and our one real chance for dolphin sightings!
The only problem with the whole arrangement is that, there's really nothing there to see or do. It's a pretty barren wasteland with a few houses spotting the beaches along the coast. So after driving awhile and seeing nothing, one's only other choice is to turn around and take the ferry back!
who was none too happy to be taking the trip!

Hey! That's exactly what we did spring break. Sat in line for over an hour to get on the ferry. Road over and were kind of saddened at the progress. You could really see the devastation from the hurricane even months out. We couldn't find any beaches that looked safe enough so we came back on the ferry after maybe 15 minutes or so. The people at the hull of the boat said we missed the dolphins. Drats.
