Directions: High Island is on the coast just off Hwy. 87. It can be reached by taking I-10 east from Houston, and then taking the exit at Winnie to go south on Hwy. 124. Another option is to use the free Galveston – Bolivar ferry and proceed up the coast on Hwy. 87. Plan on at least 90 minutes from downtown Houston to High Island.
