 Among the most popular year-round coastal destinations is Galveston in Texas, an island in the Gulf of Mexico. The city has many historical and cultural attractions, fantastic beaches and resorts. It was named after Bernardo de Galvez, who was Spanish Colonial governor and general. It was founded in 1786 and later a pirate named Jean Lafitte came here and renamed it Campeche. And it became a village for the sea rovers and who knows maybe you are the one who will find the buried treasure here. But if not you can discover lots of other treasures in Galveston.
A visit to Big Reef Nature Park is an incredible event. The multitude of birds flap their wings across the horizon as you walk along the alley. If you are not eager to hike the Galveston beaches are waiting for you. East Beach, the largest one in Texas can offer you different activities as concerts, volleyball, shopping, and bikini contests. One of the most popular Galveston sites is the Moody Garden. You can find three gigantic glass pyramids and luxury hotels here as if the futuristic Egypt. One of the most majestic things to view is the Rainforest Pyramid and its ten stories of glass where you can enjoy a tropical forest, waterfalls, cliffs, caves, and wildlife. And you also may head for the historic downtown district, view the Strand Shopping District and walk around the mansions built in the late 1800’s.
Or visit restored historic theater and watch a movie there. A Galveston cruise can take you into the Gulf of Mexico and last a day, or it can be an adventure that lasts a week and you may sail to distant places. The ship departs from the port of Galveston and it can stop at several ports of call, or it may cruise a day in Texas waters in the warm and friendly Texas sun. The Galveston cruise usually leaves the gulf and then head for other lands such as the Caribbean, the Panama Canal, or Mexico and Belize, where all travelers can find unique vacation adventures. Typical Galveston cruise can last from four nights to twelve nights. |
