You may think that the city of Dallas in Texas may have it all, in terms of parks and culture, zoos and colleges. It even has a classic 1970s television soapie named after it, but whichever way you look at it, it doesn't have a beach. Right? A popular seaside destination for people living in Dallas is Galveston, a beautiful and historical island city just off the coast of Texas. And it's less than 270 miles away.
