Galveston beaches are known for being family-friendly. This barrier island is home to miles and miles of pristine beaches for sunbathing and sand-castle building. Before you pop open an ice cold beer, keep in mind that alcohol is banned on the public beaches and the seawall in Galveston.
On this island you will find 32 miles of sandy beaches, golf courses, plenty of places for a family picnic, water sports, and more. Whether you picture yourself sipping a frozen cocktail or getting active on your beach vacation, Galveston can deliver.
Galveston is an ideal location for your own oceanfront rental. This tactic will also save you significant money as many beaches charge a fee for visitor parking. This can add up over the course of a vacation, but when you choose a rental, you will be in close proximity to the beach and you won’t need to worry about driving or parking. Beaches are generally open from dawn to dusk, all year long.

One of the outdoor gardens is a traditional Japanese garden, and for those who like floral notes, there is also a fragrance garden to enjoy. Back inside the Conservatory, visitors can learn about plants that are used to make various products, including medicines and food. It truly is a wonderful mix of garden experiences.
