Spring on Galveston Island Offers Time to Recharge
Warmer weather, sea breezes and fun activities for the family are beckoning visitors to Galveston Island this spring.
Spring is here - it's time to jump in the car and head down to the beach for a long weekend. Think of it as a summer vacay pre-planning mission!
Like most island destinations, spring is all about sunshine, beaches, and family-friendly fun, which is why you'll love Galveston as your pick for a spring getaway.
32 Miles of Beach
Stewart Beach, East Beach, Seawall Beach Urban Park, Beach Pocket Parks, and the Galveston Island State Park offer plenty of options for beachgoers. And, there's also beach access on the west end of the island. You'll find a beach chair and umbrella rentals scattered along the beaches at the beach parks or bring your gear. Remember, if you're planning to play in the surf, always choose a location near a lifeguard and take note of the flags on the lifeguard stands for tips on the surf. Galveston Beach Patrol stations lifeguards at East Beach, Stewart Beach, and the Seawall while other areas have a roving patrol.
