| About Clear Lake...
Located midway between Houston and Galveston, the Clear Lake/NASA Area encompasses 125 square miles, bordered on the west by Interstate 45 and on the east by Galveston Bay.
The over 150,000 residents of nine separate municipalities and unincorporated areas enjoy a highly diversified, balanced economic structure with a strong base of aerospace, high-tech, petrochemical, commercial fishing and boating industries.
Attractions and visitor-friendly businesses have promoted a tremendous growth in tourism in recent years.
Residents and visitors to the area appreciate the casual laid-back atmosphere and the amenities offered by 23 Clear Lake area hotels and motels and several charming bed and breakfast facilities.
Conveniently located on Clear Lake and Galveston Bay, and adjacent to the NASA/Johnson Space Center (JSC), the area offers an immense variety of entertainment for travelers. Space Center Houston, a $70 million, 183,000 square foot entertainment and educational complex, gives visitors an up-close, hands-on experience with manned space flight, including tours of JSC.
