Planning a vacation can be stressful, we need to remember this is a rare
time we have to plan to relax and spend time with the family. Here are
some things that should help you when planning your perfect Galveston
Vacation, brought to you by the Vacation specialist at Gulf Coast
Concierge!
10.Plan a vacation anytime to Galveston! Along with all beach front tourist cities, Galveston
is thought of as a ‘Best to visit during the warmer times of year’
place. There is truth to this, but when you have year round activities
like Dickens on the Strand, Lone Star Bike Rally, Mardi Gras and so many museums to visit, Galveston is the perfect getaway year round.
9.Plan ahead! With
so many resources online make sure to create an itinerary. Plan your
time for the beach, restaurants, shopping in the Strand District,
Schlitterbahn and MoodyGardens. Galveston has so much to offer, it can become overwhelming once here, so plan ahead!
8.BE SPONTANEAOUS!
Plan some of your trip but don’t forget that with the best plans made,
you will run into unforeseen things to do. Leave some time to explore
the island!
7.Get off the beaten path. Galveston has plenty of people watching that can be done but Galveston also offers plenty of nature to watch too. Get off the concrete and hit Galveston’s natural attractions! There are kayak tours, state parks, nature walks and so much more. Hit the water with offshore fishing , jet ski rentals and paddleboat tours.
6.Wake up early, stay up late! Galveston
has unbelievable sunrise that you have to see to believe, so grab a cup
of coffee and take a seat on your balcony. One of the things you might
not know about Galveston
is the night life, there is a wide range of night life to be part of
for anyone. Night clubs, bars, late night restaurants, stay up late and
enjoy it! You can sleep when you get back home!
5.ASK A LOCAL!
The internet is great to find that place everyone goes to but to find
out what the locals do, just ask! Galvestonians are known for their
hospitality, more importantly on the island most business are owned by
our friends and family, so we know the perfect little place for you to
eat at or shop!
4.Get out of the car! Galveston is full of life! You can view Galveston
from driving around, but better yet, get out and take a walk. There is
a great opportunity to experience the fresh air, beautiful scenery and
sounds of the ocean but better yet you are surrounded by people just
like you, having fun, getting away from the rat race for a vacation! Galveston is an international destination, and you never know who you might meet. You can take a ride on a Quadracycle, a bike built for four people!
3.Take a tour! Visit all that Galveston has to offer by taking a quick tour of the island or one of the many Victorian homes. Duck Tours is an amphibious island tour that goes all around Galveston
roads then into the water. Or you can set up a tour with the Galveston
Historical Society to visit some of the oldest buildings Galveston has to offer and survived the Hurricane of 1900.
2.Pick the perfect place to stay with Gulf Coast Concierge! Galveston has plenty of hotels to pick from, but over the last 10 years Galveston’s housing market has been booming! You can now plan your Galveston

Palms, The Emerald by The Sea and the Dawn. If you want to get away
