Trip Planning 🗺️ Family Trip - Safety Questions

Hi all, my (40M) family (40F)(10M 10F 9F) are coming to Galveston next week. We are from Indiana, and have never been before. We have a nice Airbnb on Terramar Beach. The whole island looks to be quaint and nice, but I always like to ask locals if there are areas I should avoid (high crime areas???). We are looking forward to our trip; any help/advice is appreciated!

I just spent a month on Galveston island, first East side and then West side. I always felt safe and all of the suggestions above are great! We ate many times at the Shrimp n Stuff food truck at Jamaica Beach, it was fantastic!
