Jamaica Beach

Galveston Island is home to a few amazing beaches, and this one is no exception. It is less crowded and much quieter than other public places on the island, which is perfect for families or anyone looking to enjoy a bit of relaxation outdoors. Although the waves can be cold, they're calm and shallow in case you care to wander in. If you're not up for swimming, you can always bring your fishing pole and cast off directly from the shore.
