Follet's Island is a barrier island on the Texas Gulf Coast in Brazoria County, Texas, immediately southwest of Galveston Island. Follet's Island separates the Christmas Bay system from the Gulf of Mexico, making it one of a chain of barrier islands running along most of the Texas coast.[1] The island is roughly Шаблон:Convert long and has a maximum elevation of about Шаблон:Convert above mean sea level. Many historians believe that Cabeza de Vaca and his companions from the Narváez expedition landed at what is now Follet's Island.[2] The southwestern tip of the island is occupied by the city of Surfside Beach, Texas.
