Top Rated Parks to Visit in Galveston

"For a bit of history on your sunny day out, check out Seawolf Park. Named after the USS Seawolf, the park features a World War II submarine USS Cavalla and the destroyer USS Stewart. There is also a fine beach for sunbathing and building sandcastles, and the park is host to a perfect area for picnics with a playground on site."

"Seawolf Park is located on Pelican Island, which was a former immigration station site. If you’re looking for the best views of Galveston Harbor, Seawolf Park is the place to be. It’s also a great location if you’re looking for a relaxing day on the fishing pier."

"Located along Galveston’s eastern point is the East End Lagoon. You can only describe this area as a nature lovers paradise. From bird watching to kayaking, there is something to do here in nature for just about everyone."

"Sign up for a sea adventure with Captain Shane (or one of the other friendly and well-experienced captains) at Galveston Sea Ventures. You can catch anything from huge red snappers to king mackerel, or you can sign up for specialty shark- or tuna-fishing charters. Nothing really compares to being out at sea with an expert guide to introduce you to the rich variety of marine life thriving in the waters below."

"If you’re looking for some sun and sand close to Moody Gardens, look no further than Pocket Park 1. Located at 11102 San Luis Pass Road on the west end of Galveston, and is one of the few area beaches that offers on-beach parking. Pocket Park 1 makes it easy to set up camp for the day and even grill out if you want."
