I went a little bit off the beaten path today to get some steamy Vietnamese noodle soup at Pho 18. This is a small family restaurant located on 4th Street, just off of Seawall Blvd.

Murdochs
This is a little more than a souvenir shop on the Seawall, although you can find lots of fun stuff here to take home as a reminder of your trip to Galveston. Murdochs has an awesome deck where you can enjoy a drink and the Gulf breeze while sitting in one of their rocking chairs. It is also a great photo spot for the Ferris Wheel on the Pleasure Pier.
East Beach
Beachtown
My secret place to launch a long hike on the beach is Beachtown. You drive out towards East Beach, turn in towards the condos, and find a place to park. There are beautiful homes, a nice public Boardwalk for beach access, and long stretches of beach in either direction. Today, I hoofed it in the sun out to East Beach and back. It was a great walk on the beach.
Shrimp ‘n Stuff
This Galveston restaurant is one of my favorites for fried seafood. At Shrimp ‘n Stuff you can sit out on the patio or inside for some much needed air conditioning. My lunch today was the “Create Your Own Platter” with fried shrimp, catfish, hush puppies, fries, and sweet tea. It was most awesome.
Float
The Float Pool & Patio Bar is a pretty laid back joint located right on the Seawall in Galveston. It was such a hot and humid night, that I wanted to jump into the pool. I would have been the only one. 🙂
Crime Scene
I arrived in Galveston late this evening, checked into my hotel, and took a drive along the Seawall to discover the Galveston Police working a crime scene on the beach. I guess I will have to catch up on the news to find out what happened?
