7 days in Galveston Itinerary

An old colonial city and a busy cruise ship port less than an hour's drive from Houston, Galveston sits on Galveston Island and serves as a popular vacation destination for both domestic and international travelers.

We've included these beaches for you: Stewart Beach and Galveston Pocket Park 2. Step out of the city life by going to Boardwalk Beast and El Jardin Del Mar. Venture out of the city with trips to Sylvan Beach Park (in La Porte), Kemah (Kemah Boardwalk & Stingray Reef 215 Kipp Ave) and Armand Bayou Nature Center (in Pasadena). There's lots more to do: take a leisurely stroll along Galveston's 61st Street Fishing Pier, enjoy the sand and surf at Porretto Beach, see majestic marine mammals with a dolphin and whale watching tour, and admire the majestic nature at Galveston Island State Park.
