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.

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.
