There is NOTHING pretty about Galveston! When you travel the world and see what REAL beaches look like, you will never again get into the toilet water the Galveston offers.

Natural sandbar island and esturary 6/18/2007

I Have been around the world and I can recognize Galveston for what it is a natural evironment filled with local flora and fauna, including animals of the human kind. I also know what Galveston is not... a manicured resort with imported sand. If you want a great family style natural experience Galveston is great. If you want all beaches to look exatly the same maybe you should stay by the pool. Pros: easy to get to and lots of natural beauty Cons: mosquitos more

Shrimp N' Stuff has the world's best fried shrimp. State Park has decent accomodations for a beach bum like me. 5/15/2007

I love this place. You can't find a more relaxed and friendly place than Galveston. I was 4 years old the first time I went and have been back a dozen times since. I laugh everytime I see the pink trailer house on stilts and wonder what kind of character owns it. Off shore fishing is great, even better is fishing off the pier with my 3 year-old at the state park, especially because you don't have to purchase a lisence. This is the perfect place for beach bums. If you're expecting 5 star hotels and white sand beaches, don't bother. We don't want a bunch of bitchy snobs cluttering up the beach anyway. more

Good Deal 5/3/2006

Although Galveston is certainly not a world class beach it's not as bad as the first reviewer suggests. The sand is the large, granular brown kind, not the white sugar sand that some people demand. But if you're not rich and would like a beach getaway give it a try. The off-shore fishing is pretty good too! Pros: Inexpensive, Not Crowded, Good Fihing more
