General Information on Galveston
Galveston is an island 33 miles long, just off the coast of Texas. The island is tropical and warm most of the year with the beaches being the main draw, and a fantastic preservation of history a close second.
Family attractions include Moody Gardens, Schlitterbahn, historical sites including "The Strand" (which is a shoppers heaven) and turn of the century historical landmark homes, golf courses, and a long calming seawall walkway great for strolling, biking, jogging, and fishing.
Shopping on the Strand area, which dates back to pre-1900 times or touring the Elissa, both bring a refreshing look at Galveston's history. You'll enjoy it all: From the space science tours of nearby Johnson Space Center to simply reading a book while lying in a hammock. From birding, deep sea fishing to surfing, sailing, shopping, eating!
