Strand Historic District

The Strand Historic District whisks you back to 1800s Galveston with its Victorian mansions and cobblestone streets. Horse-drawn carriages clip-clop past beautifully preserved storefronts that somehow survived America's deadliest hurricane. Art galleries, antique shops, and the Grand 1894 Opera House give you plenty to explore while gas-lit streetlamps create a magical evening atmosphere. Seafood restaurants serve fresh Gulf catches in historic Victorian buildings, while pubs offer casual fare with harbor views. Choose between charming bed & breakfasts in converted mansions or boutique hotels with ornate period furnishings. The compact six-block area is perfect for walking, with the waterfront just three blocks away.

The Bishop's Palace, also known as Gresham's Castle, is an ornate Victorian-style house, located on Broadway and 14th Street in the East End Historic District of Galveston, Texas. #Architecture

East End

Step back in time as you wander the East End's tree-lined streets showcasing Galveston's stunning Victorian architecture. The Strand Historic District dazzles with 19th-century buildings that weathered the famous 1900 hurricane. History buffs will love exploring Bishop's Palace and the Grand 1894 Opera House, while maritime museums reveal the island's seafaring past. Fresh Gulf seafood dominates local restaurant menus, from upscale dining in restored Victorian buildings to casual coastal eateries. Most accommodations are charming bed & breakfasts in converted mansions offering personalized service. The neighborhood is best explored on foot or via trolley tours that connect major historic sites.

One of our favorite little weekend getaways is a quick 45 minute drive from Houston. The Hotel Galvez and Spa has been the grand hotel of the Galveston sea wall since 1911. Originally built to help Galveston tourism recover from the devastation of the great hurricane of 1900 that almost ended the life of this island city. Charming architecture, beautiful pool, great bars and amenities. Given its age and history it has more than a few ghost stories as well. The Hotel is a member of Historic Hotels of America, the official program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

San Jacinto

San Jacinto showcases Galveston's rich history through well-preserved Victorian cottages and the impressive Art Deco San Jacinto Building that survived the 1900 hurricane. Tree-lined streets with Spanish moss create a peaceful retreat from bustling tourist areas. Visitors can easily explore East End Historic District, Lost Bayou, and the nearby Seawall Beach for authentic island charm. Family-owned cafes serve fresh Gulf seafood and Tex-Mex in this walkable neighborhood. Charming bed-and-breakfasts in restored Victorian homes offer the perfect base for your island adventure. Though public transit is limited, abundant street parking and flat, bike-friendly terrain make getting around a breeze.

West End

The West End of Galveston serves up quintessential Gulf Coast magic with miles of sugar-white beaches waiting for your footprints. Jamaica Beach, Bermuda Beach, and Sea Isle Beach offer perfect spots to wiggle your toes in the sand or try your luck at fishing. The 2,000-acre Galveston Island State Park delivers nature trails where bird watchers can spot over 280 species. Beach houses on stilts and low-rise condos dot the shoreline, most offering dreamy Gulf views and direct beach access. Casual seafood joints serve fresh-caught fare, though you'll need a car to explore this spread-out area. The constant sea breeze, seagull calls, and spectacular sunrises make the West End worth every sandy step.

Jamaica Beach

Jamaica Beach offers sun-soaked shores and refreshing Gulf waters just west of Galveston's busier areas. Beach lovers can wiggle their toes in the sand, cast a fishing line, or paddle out on a kayak adventure. The peaceful residential vibe creates the perfect backdrop for families wanting a low-key coastal getaway without the tourist crowds. Vacation rental homes and condos with full kitchens make up most of the lodging options here. Getting around requires your own wheels since public transit is limited. Most visitors cook meals at their rentals, though a quick drive puts Galveston's restaurants and shops within easy reach.
