Exploring Galveston
There is so much to do on Galveston that it’s hard to know where to start. You can head over to Pleasure Pier for dinning, shopping, and rides.

Pelican Island is also close by, where you can visit Seawolf Park, well known for great fishing and picnics. While there you can visit naval ships and a WWII submarine.
There is so much history in Galveston that you will want to keep coming back, learning more on each visit. Wonderful museums like the African-American Museum, The Bryan Museum, and the Galveston County Historical Museum are a good start to quench your thirst for history and what Galveston is all about.
