Landmarks and views
Landmarks Worth the Detour
Want a quick change of scenery? Two easy wins on the peninsula:
- Fort Travis Park for big coastal views and a little Texas history
- Bolivar Point Lighthouse area for photos and that “we’re really here” feeling
These are low-effort stops with a solid payoff.
Ferry Day and a Galveston Change-Up
The Strand, The Sea Well, Pleasure Pier and more.
The ferry ride is part of the coast experience. Breeze, water, and that mental switch into vacation mode. On busy weekends, check ferry wait times before you roll.
If you want a day trip, Galveston is close enough to do and come back without losing the laid-back vibe.
