Drinks by the Seawall

The Galveston Seawall was built over 100 years ago to protect the island from hurricanes. Originally just over 3 miles long, today, the Seawall is both the longest continuous sidewalk in America and the world’s longest mural. Today, it’s a happening spot packed with must-visit shops, restaurants and plenty of entertainment.
