Introduction to Galveston, Texas

This photo was taken from Seawall Blvd. and 22nd St. The aqua building was Murdochs, a souvenir shop, but used to hold famous bath houses in the early 1900s; the pilings next to it was Hooters. In the background is the Flagship Hotel.

Though Galveston was hit hard by Hurricane Ike in September, it is on the mend. Some of the hotels can accommodate guests right now, and more will be ready for spring vacation. For updated information, contact the Galveston Convention & Visitors Bureau.
