This is my favorite area to go when spending a day at the beach. We like to set up near Murdoch's and if we need a break from the sun, we just go move our chairs into the shade under Murdoch's. There's a restroom inside Murdoch's and you can get drinks, snacks, and anything else you may need for your day on the beach. Pro Tip: Do a quick stop under the 23rd Street traffic light (where that gray truck in the picture is) to drop off all of your beach items and people if you can't find close parking. Have the driver go park after you are unloaded.

Pretty fun course to play. Can get a little windy out there, but it adds to the fun of playing golf on Galveston island.

May be my new favorite beach in Galveston. Costs $5 per person over 12 but well worth it. Almost get beaches to yourself here. Showers, grills, bench areas, parking, camping, this place has it all.

Food scene
Great place to get some really good fried seafood. Dine in or call in and pick up. The wait can get a little long here, so most times I will call in to pick up. Haven't had anything bad on the menu. Excellent fried shrimp.

Walking in here is like taking a step back in time 100 years. Check out their website to see what times they will do their taffy demonstrations throughout the day. All ages love this place.

Between 31st and 30th on Broadway. Donuts and kolaches are very good here. I'm normally more a of kolache guy, but the donuts here are exceptional. Really like the apple fritters.

Really cool spot with excellent food. They do take reservations and there could be a wait. (People who wait to eat somewhere means the restaurant is doing something right)

Amazing views and unbelievably good food. You can get dressed up or dress casually here. A little bit pricier but worth it. I think the best thing I can say is I never thought a $42 Beef Stroganoff would be worth it but it absolutely is.
