A lively strip in the heart of historic Galveston feautures pubs, delis and specialty shops.

Reviewed By OriginalYouth - Fort Worth, United States

We always try to take a walk around at the Strand when we visit Galveston. There are lots of shops for all budgets, including souvenirs, toys, Resort Wear, collectibles, beauty products Etc. There are restaurants and lots of photo opportunities including street art and murals, a giant chair to pose with, covered awnings in an amazing candy store where you can watch them make fresh taffy.

The Seawall

Walk along this eight-mile seawall built to protect Galveston from the raging winds and waters of the Gulf of Mexico.

Reviewed By Nomad062_10 - Omaha, United States

I never tire of driving up and down the seawall. Beautiful ocean view. Miles of beach. Functional and iconic. Plenty of activities, shops, and food. Must pay to park along the wall which is different from the last time we visited.

Laguna Madre Nature Trail

This 1,500-foot boardwalk crosses four acres of marshland, where bird watchers can spot many coastal and migratory birds and numerous others tempted by the berries on the fiddlewood bushes along the trail

Reviewed By TGoodGurg - Coeur d'Alene, United States

Great walk for the early morning or late evening. Great birds to view. So pretty and an easy trail on a boardwalk.

Heritage Park & Cultural Center

Historical area of beautifully restored homes of Corpus Christi's founders.

Reviewed By LittlePaint - Urbandale, United States

.... All have been moved here from elsewhere in the city and are clustered for easy viewing. Each home has an historical plaque with the history of the structure and the people who built it. A fun couple of hours. There is a parking lot that could accommodate an oversized vehicle if the empty spaces are available, bit no dedicated parking area for large vehicles.
