Galveston
Gulf Coast island of Victorian streets, pleasure piers, and NASA next door.
Heads up: Houston is over an hour away; Galveston itself is what you get.
Cozumel
Catamarans to starfish shallows and jungle Maya ruins across the channel.
Heads up: Only Punta Langosta pier is walkable to town; beach clubs all need a taxi.
Grand Cayman
Stand waist deep with stingrays, then unwind on Seven Mile Beach.
Heads up: Always a tender port; queues plus a taxi make Seven Mile Beach ~45 min away.
Miami
Airboats gliding past gators, art deco pastels, and Cuban cafecito buzz.
Heads up: South Beach is a 15-25 min ride, not a walk from the port.
Costa Maya
Jungle temples at Chacchoben, then mojitos at a lazy beach club.
Heads up: The 'port' is a built-for-cruisers mall; Chacchoben ruins are an hour's drive.
