Murdoch's

Murdoch's has welcomed generations of visitors with Gulf-front shopping, beach essentials, and one of Galveston's most recognizable Seawall landmarks.

Located directly over the Gulf on Seawall Boulevard, Murdoch's is known for its wide selection of souvenirs, coastal gifts, beach gear, apparel, snacks, and cold drinks. VisitGalveston souvenirs and locally inspired giftsors often linger on the covered deck, where rocking chairs and panoramic water views make it a favorite stop before or after a day on the beach.

Murdoch's began as a beachfront bathhouse in the late 1800s and has been rebuilt several times after major hurricanes, including the 1900 Storm, Hurricane Carla, and Hurricane Ike. Its continued presence along the Seawall reflects Galveston's resilience and longstanding connection to Gulf Coast tourism.
