Located less than an hour from
bustling Houston, this island community offers the perfect combination of
weather and things to do, or not do, year round. As a tourist destination.
Galveston tends to busy on most recognized holidays, weekends, and when the kids
are out of school, including spring break. With a moderate climate year round,
there is no time of year that isn’t good for a visit. Winters are generally
mild with the low temperature in the evening still near 50, making it an ideal
time for a great meal at one of the city’s many fine restaurants followed by a
stroll on the beach. Spring brings a comfortable combination of warm
temperatures during the day; warm enough for a dip in the water and yet cool
enough at night to enjoy any outdoor activity. Summers are warm and filled with
abundant sunshine. This time of year brings a majority of the visitors to the
beach to enjoy the warm Gulf waters. Fall is similar to spring but just a
little warmer. Whatever the reason for a visit, whether for a day or a week,
this island city is waiting with a warm smile, a warm breeze, and a comfortable
climate.
Whatever the interest, there is
something in Galveston for everyone. Want to enjoy the soft sea breezes?
Sunbathing, feeding the birds, wading
in the surf, relaxing under the shade of an umbrella are great ways to spend the
day, and with the gentle breeze off of the gulf it feels great as visitors work
on that perfect tan. Visitors can even tour the entire area by bike. Bicycles
are available for rent for those who just want to take a leisurely tour of the
area, including four wheel bikes for the whole family. There is an abundance of
nature to observe. Nature lovers will find plenty to see with the seagulls,
pelicans, cranes and a host of other sea birds, dotting the landscape. Watch
out for those seagulls as they are always ready for that next handout as they
beg visitors on the beach.

for all tastes. Some have waterfront locations which offer great views of the
soaring birds, surfers, and swimmers in the water. For the history buff,
visitors can walk or drive around the city and see many historic homes, not to
mention a variety of museums and other attractions.

has been designated a historic district and has several restored historic
homes. Don’t forget to bring the camera. There are many opportunities to
create lifetime memories.
Galveston is an island unto
itself. It is hard to imagine that just a short distance from this tropical
vacation spot is the bustling city of Houston. Whether for a day, a weekend, a
week or more; Galveston, on the beautiful Gulf of Mexico, has something for
everyone. Come see for yourself.
