So much do see and do in this amazing city, but these are some of my fan favorites
If you want to see alligators, turtles, birds, lily pads, flowers and all things nature; this is a fantastic place to go. You can drive, hike, picnic, camp and take it all in. It’s a great adventure. I see something different every time.

Miles of beach, with shopping, lots of restaurants and bars, duck boat tours, jet ski rentals, and lots of hotels and condos to stay at
Galveston Beach
Walk along the Kemah Boardwalk for aquarium dining, petting stingray, rides, live music, tons of food and drink choices all along the coastline of the ocean
