Galveston, what to do there

[mudjeremy]

Next weekend the gf and I will be spending the weekend there. The only time I go there is to fish so idk what all there is to do. We are going there to celebrate our one year anniversary. I'm looking for places to eat and something to do before we go pier fishing. Any advise would be helpful.

Hit the strand and do some shopping, eat at pier 51

My mother just got back from the Strand last weekend and said it was depressing. I have to agree with pier 51 thought, awesome place!

Eat at the black pearl on the strand or try Willie G's both awesome seafood.

[Kurdawg]

Willey G's is good also, I think it's next door to pier 51

If you've never been the Moody Gardens is worth going to, they have several exhibits

[DaveS903]

The Seaport Museum is really interesting as is the Lone Star Flight Museum.

[eaglegolfj]

Moody gardens is pretty cool as well as the flight museum and rail road museum too.

We took tours of a couple old houses. I can't remember which ones but they were pretty cool.

Go to Sunflower bakery…Great breakfast and eats,also try Tremont House for upscale and for Mexican Original across from Sunflower grill also Greek Cajun for Seafood. Not much else to do if not fishing or shopping

[PondPopper]

Take your fishing gear. The surf can be hot this time of year.

Oh just saw the pier fishing..

[Txcatsailor01]

The Cajun Greek is defiantly worth trying. 61st and Ave R. It's probably late for crawfish, but they have some awesome seafood. It's casual and reasonably priced.
