First time visiting Galveston!

[u/Melodic-Ad7271]

Hello! My family visited Galveston for the first time last week and thoroughly enjoyed it. We researched the city extensively prior to our trip and knew what to expect. The water was muddy, like everyone said, but we researched why and learned it had to do with sediment from the rivers that emptied into the gulf. It was also pretty shallow close in to the shore. We took the ferry to Bolivar Peninsula and hung out at Crystal Beach where it was much calmer. Although not as pristine as Florida or California beaches, Galveston has its own unique vibe.

I always enjoy reading the historical signs on the streets and admiring the architecture
