Galveston Island Beach Vacation is a Fun Tme for ALL
Two other destinations on your Galveston Island Beach Vacation that you must see are the 242-acre Moody Gardens and the newly opened Schlitterbahn Galveston Island Water Park.
Part theme park, part Educational and rehabilitative facility, part pleasure garden, Moody Gardens is a Galveston Island Vacation all by itself, and Schlitterbahn is the first Water Park of its kind that is open year-round!
Galveston is a City and an island 50 miles south of Houston.
The best way to connect to Galveston's past is by an Excursion through one of its Historic Districts, or a tour of one of the Historic homes that are open to the public.
Stroll through the 36-square-block area on your downtown Galveston Beach Vacation, exploring the enticing shops on The Strand, the Waterfront district, and the Docks for the Cruise Lines, and the trendy Post office Arts District.
Pick up one of Galveston Historical Foundation's excellent brochures.
For a self-guided walking or driving tour of the East End Historical District (east of 19th Street) or the Silk Stocking District (from 23rd to 26th streets, between Avenues K and P).
