Where Shrimp Meets Shoreline

Living in Lago Mar means being part of a community where fresh, flavorful Gulf shrimp is a regular part of life.

For starters, you can conveniently pick up fresh shrimp at local grocery stores, including the nearby H-E-B. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can also take a short drive into Galveston to visit Katie’s Seafood Market, a local favorite known for its fresh-off-the-boat shrimp and other seafood options.
