Pocket Park 1 Overview

Just a few miles past Galveston's Seawall, the West End is a great spot for relaxing on the sand or playing in the water. Put your lounge chair right at the water's edge and savor the feeling of the waves lapping at your feet, while you enjoy a cold drink (no glass please, but cans are okay). Your furry family members are welcome too, but they must be on a leash.
