Shipley Do-Nuts: Make Your Morning Sweeter

Shipley Do-Nuts is a small chain of doughnut shops that has served its own unique blend of doughnuts and kolaches for more than 78 years. The La Porte location is an area favorite for breakfast or a sweet treat anytime throughout the day because of its convenient drive-through and its delicious selection of baked goods.

Traditional glazed doughnuts are some of the shop’s most popular items, but it also serves yeast, filled, and cake doughnuts in a variety of flavors to offer customers even more options. For those with more savory tastes, Shipley Do-Nuts serves warm kolaches filled with sausage and cheese or ham and cheese that make a hearty breakfast. Hot coffee also pairs perfectly with any of the shop’s items.

Whether you come to work on the free Wi-Fi or to take a dozen to go, locals say Shipley Do-Nuts is a tasty and convenient choice.

Sylvan Beach: A La Porte Park

Sylvan Beach is the perfect place to frolic in the sand and sun when you need a break from the hustle and bustle of daily life. It’s a 31-acre park with two white sand beaches on Galveston Bay, perfect for swimming, sunbathing, boating and fishing. This La Porte park is just a short trip away from The Broadwater!

It also has a picnic area with pavilions that can be reserved for special events and gatherings, a skateboard park, a fishing pier, boat ramp, playground and restrooms with showers. There’s even a bait shop by the pier, so you gear up to catch that mammoth fish you’ve been angling for. Be sure to check out the Annual Sylvan Beach Festival and Crawfish Jam.

Sylvan Beach is open every day, and offers free parking. There is, however, a $4 fee to access the fishing pier.
