Galveston Island
I love visiting Galveston. Pleasure pier and just relaxing by the beach with nice company and yummy food and drinks, enjoying the sunset. I have beautiful memories of my old dance competitions. Yes, as a person who grew up living so closed to beautiful beaches I understand the beach is not the nicest but Galveston is still a vibe. You gotta go with the right mindset to have fun. This is closest thing that you will get to beach vibes if you live in the Houston area. I enjoy this little Island and I want to explore more.
These are some of my favorite places so far.

Pleasure pier is way overpriced in my opinion. But i haven’t gone in years so maybe the prices are better now. I love the look of the pier from the beach though
