Best Ways to Celebrate Dad in Galveston for Father’s Day
This Father’s Day, trade neckties and novelty mugs for sea breezes and memory-making.
Galveston Island sets the scene for a celebration Dad won’t forget—from reeling in a big catch on the Gulf to teeing off with a view or cruising down the Seawall with salty air in his hair. Plan an unforgettable weekend filled with his favorite things, wrapped in coastal charm and quality time.
Treat Dad to a Galveston Fishing Trip
For anyone seeking fresh seafood and coastal recreation, Galveston is the perfect fishing destination. Cast a line at any of the Seawall’s two public fishing piers at 61st Street or 91st Street or head to Seawolf Park— a hotspot for trout and redfish. If dad is feeling ambitious, book a fishing charter to reel in bigger fish like snapper, tuna and shark.
Insider Tip: Many local restaurants on the island will even prepare your catch!
Cruise in Style: Fun Ways to Get Around Galveston
Give Dad the keys to a Polaris Slingshot—a sleek, head-turning machine that offers just the right amount of thrill. Or, keep it classic with a scooter or bike rental for laid-back exploring. For families, a Jeep rental makes beach-hopping and sightseeing a breeze.
This Father’s Day, skip the ordinary and explore Galveston in style. From three-wheeled roadsters and scooters to open-air Jeeps and beach cruisers, the island has plenty of ways to turn your ride into part of the adventure.
No Father’s Day is complete without a visit to some of the most popular museums on the island. Whether you are looking to explore some locomotives, an offshore drilling rig or one of the world’s largest collections of historical artifacts (and everything in between) - Galveston is full of must-see history and memorabilia.
