Points forts
Watch the Gulf glow at sunset while walking through the storms, scandals, and survivors that shaped Galveston's Seawall. This 90 min walking tour covers ~1 mile, runs Oct-Dec, starts ~30 min before sunset. Start at the legendary Balinese Room—hear about the Maceo family's Prohibition-era casino and its famous "Ranger's Run." Pass Murdoch's, rebuilt after every major storm since 1900, and the site of Electric Park, once "the Coney Island of the South." Visit the Pleasure Pier, born as a WWII rec facility, stop for sunset photos at the seawall's granite groins, and pass the Sea Turtle Mural at McGuire-Dent Rec Center—with an optional ice cream stop at Fish Tales. On the walk back: Fort Crockett's real WWII coastal defenses and the tragic story of Sister Katherine and the orphans lost in the 1900 storm—leading into our final stop, the historic Hotel Galvez, built on the very site where they tragedy washed ashore.

About Galveston
Galveston is a Texas barrier-island city on the Gulf of Mexico, with Victorian streets, a long seawall beach and a cruise port.
Galveston is a barrier island city on the Gulf of Mexico, about eighty kilometres south-east of Houston, joined to the mainland by a causeway. In the late nineteenth century it was one of the wealthiest cities in Texas, and the Strand, a street of ornate iron-fronted commercial buildings, and the Victorian houses of the East End recall that period. The hurricane of 1900 killed thousands, and a long seawall and raised ground were built afterwards.
