One of the most popular destinations in the city is the San Jacinto Battleground State Historic Site, which is a National Historic Landmark. Home to the 1836 Battle of San Jacinto, this site features the San Jacinto Monument, the San Jacinto Museum of History and the USS Texas. The San Jacinto Monument includes an observation deck that offers a great view of the Houston Ship Channel and the city of Houston. The museum, located at the base of the monument, details the battle, and features other exhibits on the state’s history. To learn more about the USS Texas, you can take a self-guided tour of the historic ship that served in both World Wars. If you love sandy shores and water activities, you’ll want to visit historic Sylvan Beach! Sylvan Beach is a county park located along Galveston Bay. In addition to the beach itself, you’ll also want to check out the Pier and Pavilion.
For even more waterside fun while you’re staying at a La Porte hotel, take a quick drive to the Kemah Boardwalk.
