Review:
Galveston has one of the area’s busiest beaches, which is also one of the closest to Houston. At the far eastern tip of Galveston Island, you will find East Beach, the state’s largest beach. It is popular among the party crowd and offers a bustling and high-energy atmosphere virtually anytime you visit. The beach offers a range of amenities and facilities for visitors, which are available from March until October. The beach park has a boardwalk, a pavilion, and an entertainment stage, which often hosts live music and other entertainment during the summer. Summer is also when the beach park hosts the American Institute of Architects Sandcastle Competition, when flocks of people come to see talented artists create elaborate sandcastles.
