The three choices for travelers looking to spend time on a Galveston beach are typically Poretto, Babe’s Beach or Stewart Beach. Soak up the sun, swim, or get out on the water for some fun activities like stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking.
In the evening make a reservation at Saltgrass Steakhouse for a mouthwatering meal of top-tier Texas cuisine. Finish out the night at one of Galveston’s many popular cocktail bars before retiring to the hotel for the evening.
