The Bolivar Peninsula is a quirky coastal community consisting of Port Bolivar; Crystal Beach; Caplen; Gilchrist; and High Island. "The peninsula;" as locals call it; is a 27-mile-long barrier formation. Bounded on one side by the Gulf of Mexico and on the other by the Intracoastal Waterway; it is a short ferry ride from Galveston; Texas. The history of the peninsula includes filibusterers; pirates; fierce natives; and headstrong settlers. A spirit of independence survives to this day; providing a continuation of the story of this unique landmass and its people. An unlikely conglomeration of cowboys and farmers; third- and fourth-generation landowners; retired executives and professors; fishermen; shrimpers; and birding enthusiasts comes together with weekenders and tourists to enjoy the beauty and bounty of the Gulf Coast. Its beautiful setting and wild; storied past make the Bolivar Peninsula a fascinating place to explore.
