The Beach
Galveston is an island city on the Gulf Coast of Texas. It’s known for Moody Gardens, where giant glass pyramids house sharks, monkeys and other animals. Amusement rides and restaurants line Galveston Island Historic Pleasure Pier on the south shore. West is bird-rich Galveston Island State Park, with its trails, kayak launches and fishing spots. Stewart Beach and East Beach are on the island’s eastern end
Galveston is known as one of the most charming beach towns in the country (according to Country Living). Full of fascinating historic architecture, sandy shores, first-rate restaurants, and unique places to stay, the island offers an endless number of ways to enjoy your next Texas Gulf Coast getaway.
Home to 32 miles of sandy shoreline, the island is a fantastic destination for seekers of sun and surf.
East Beach
Play a game of pickup volleyball and enjoy the lively vibe at the sprawling EAST BEACH. Pack a cooler of your favorite kind of beverage (including alcohol) or stop by the concession stands for food and drinks. The beach is almost always a happening place, especially during the summer, when it hosts festivals, concerts, and the much-acclaimed SANDCASTLE COMPETIION.
Stewart Beach
If you want something lower key, head to STEWART BEACH. Once named among the 10 Best Beaches in America by Family Vacation Critic, the beach provides a relaxing getaway on the north side of the island’s famous Seawall. Not only is this a great spot to bask in the warm Texas sun and play in the Gulf, but it’s also just a short walk to a multitude of restaurants and hotels.
Of course, these are only two of the numerous Beaches that grace the Galveston shorelines. Do some exploring and find one that’s perfect for you!
