Notable Dickinson restaurants include Marais, fine Old French Quarter New Orleans-style dining, Dickinson BBQ, Jimmy Changas, Gios Flying Pizza, Kelley’s Country Cookin’, and TJ Reeds Burgers & Shakes.

Shopping

The area’s shopping options span from clusters of cottage shops selling handmade crafts to modern shopping malls filled with popular stores. The Kemah Lighthouse District and Kemah Boardwalk (only 6 miles away) boast many retail specialty shops.

You may opt to stroll lazily under the shady canopies of centuries-old Live Oak trees in the Historic District of League City (just 5 miles away) where many of the shops are in historical buildings.

Just up the road, on I-45 North, you’ll find one of the Houston areas best shopping centers, Baybrook Mall as well as the Tanger Outlet Mall on I-45 heading South.

If you feel like staying “home” after a long day of shopping, pick up some fresh seafood from one of Seabrook’s many fish markets. We recommend Rose’s Seafood. Bring it back to the resort and grill out at our waterfront BBQ area!
