In the same area you will find The Strand Historic District in Galveston. The coolest place ever to shop, dine and even take a horse and carriage ride too. We had so much fun there.
While there we also took a ride on the Ferry which was so much fun too. Its a short ride to Port Bolivar and during the ride there's usually dolphins jumping around the water and Seagulls flying around. While your vehicle is parked on the ferry you can get out and look around and feed the seagulls if you want.
