Whether you're sticking a toe in the water or looking for treasures on the shore, East Beach is a fantastic place to get some quality family time. Why not pack a picnic basket and make a day of it?

This stretch of coastline in Galveston is popular with travelers, so be sure to put it on your must-see list. Don't think that's all there is to do here, though. There are loads more spots ready for you to experience after East Beach. Galveston Island Railroad Museum, Grand 1894 Opera House, and Bishop's Palace are nearby.

This property was great for us as we had to travel with our pet. They were very pet friendly, everything was extremely clean, check-in was super easy. The only thing wrong with the property is that they advertise queen beds when they are in fact, double sized beds. When I talked to the front desk, they said that’s all they have in all of their rooms. So there are no queen beds on the property as the website describes. This was a bit uncomfortable for my partner and I and pretty much false advertisement.

East Beach allows alcohol as Seattle Beach did not both areas you pay $15 to enter. They had volleyball nets and also have a calendar of events on the Galveston's beach website if intrested.
