Galveston Island is 27 miles of fun. With beaches that stretch on forever along the Gulf of Mexico, charming Strand with its bars and shops, and quirky mansions like Moody Mansion and Bishop’s Palace, there is no shortage of activities for your Spring Break. At Galveston Island State Park, East Beach, and Dellanera RV Park, you can stretch out on fine golden sand, play volleyball, go for a run, or collect shells. Pleasure Pier, on the other hand, has several fabulous adrenaline-pumping rides. Pier 21 on historic Galveston’s harbor is a great place to go for a meal or learn about the city’s history. Visit Moody Gardens® to explore the Rainforest and Aquarium Pyramids, try the five-tier Sky Trail® Ropes Course, or take a round trip on the Zip Line.
