galveston's island lifestyle

Galveston offers a wide range of touristic attractions, as well as those, just for the local spots that we're gonna let you in on.  In Galveston life is one long beach, and everything that goes with that lifestyle. Galveston's pet friendly beaches stretch the length of the island and are home to many special events throughout the year, including Mardi Gras.  
But Galveston is more than just a day at the beach, it's got a rich history (ask any local about the year 1900, they'll know). The old downtown section is filled with unusual shops and stores and the cable car line is back up and running.  Nearby are some wonderful historic homes and buildings, even a few haunted ones. Galveston has a rich history and most of it is only a short bike ride away.
