Galveston may be an island, but it is more accessible than you think.
Galveston may be 32-miles long, but it's only a few miles wide. With a handful of neighborhoods and top points of interest, finding your perfect locations won't be difficult.
Located about an hour south of Houston and connected to the mainland by a causeway, Galveston is as easy to get to as an island can be. Some of the ways to travel to, from, or on the island include Uber or Lyft, shuttle, limousine, rental car or personal vehicle.
The closest international airport to Galveston is William P Hobby Airport. Located on the southern side of Houston, it’s only about 40 miles – and less than an hour if traffic cooperates – from the terminal to the beach.
George Bush Intercontinental Airport is the largest airport in Houston. It’s about 70 miles and 80+ minutes from Galveston.
Don't forget about Scholes International Airport (GLS) right here on Galveston Island! As a general aviation reliever airport, GLS serves as a valuable asset in meeting the needs of businesses, private pilots, and aviation enthusiasts. Great attractions such as Moody Gardens Theme Park, Schlitterbahn Water Park, and Moody Gardens Golf Course are all located within the airport complex, few steps away from the ramp, making Scholes Airport your one-stop Galveston Island adventure.
Once you’re on the ground, you have many options for getting from the airport to your lodging or cruise port.
If you don’t mind walking a few blocks, you can find free parking on much of the island. However, there are some places you need to pay for parking and some that require resident permits. Paid parking is required along The Seawall from 10AM-6PM and in Historic Downtown from 9AM-6PM.
The best way to pay for parking along The Seawall and the Historic Downtown District is through PayByPhone. You can call 1-866-234-7275, visit paybyphone.com, or download the PayByPhone app on your smartphone. PayByPhone goes by your license plate number, so you can park anywhere within the same location code.
