AT THE BEACH

Playground of the South

There are 32 miles of sand beach. The east end is flanked by hotels, condos, shopping, attractions and restaurants. The west end is residential, mostly condos and single family structures. 

Galveston has many soft beaches and calm, warm waters along the Gulf of Mexico along with different types of parks on the beach. 

Toes in the Sand

It is believed that the barrier island known as Galveston is believed to be over 5,000 years old.  On the west end of the island, where we were, the dunes roll right into the prairie.

It Doesn't Get Any Better

The Seawall is a great place to take a stroll or a bike ride with many diversions ranging from souvenir shops to restaurants and, of course, the "Pleasure Pier".

Galveston Seawall

At 10.4 miles long, the Seawall lining the Gulf of Mexico is the world's longest continuous sidewalk.
