While the 32-miles of beaches are not to be missed, Galveston offers so much more beyond the beach!
Galveston, Texas is a charming Southern retreat just 50 miles from Houston. It's a destination full of art, historic architecture, chic boutiques, ghost legends and more - all tucked within a quaint Gulf Coast barrier island. Come experience the charm of Galveston Island. #LoveGalveston

Avoid the crowds, see the amazing sandcastles and take lessons from a pro on the day following the Annual AIA Sandcastle Competition: August 21, 2022.
