Galveston Island, Texas, United States
Located about 50 miles southeast of Houston, the island stretches along the Gulf with 32 miles of beaches, a thriving port, and a historic downtown. You’ll find the Galveston Island Historic Pleasure Pier, miles of beachfront resorts, and the Strand Historic District, filled with boutiques, museums, and turn-of-the-century charm. The Seawall Urban Park is the longest continuous sidewalk in the U.S., and the annual event lineup, from Mardi Gras Galveston to Dickens on the Strand, keeps the calendar packed with energy.
