We have visited Galveston before, and were just looking for presents to take home. Good variety of shops, independants.

Lots of walking, so we didnt see much. Park on the wharf

once you have been in one store it is like you have been in them all. Each store has the same stuff basically. There are a couple that have food and designer clothes though. The restaurants look good.

Much of the historical Strand district is filled with well-preserved and updated "iron front" stores and early 1900's homes as well as businesses

Love walking around the Strand. Enjoyed the shops, restaurant and cafe.

It was great to be able to enjoy a cold beer without being confined to one business. I have never been anywhere (besides New Orleans) where you can just walk down the streets and through the shops with a beer. We had a great time and found lots of souvieneers.

A lot of walking, limited restrooms. Great amount of history and older buildings. Prices reasonable and some great restaurants in the area. Get there early, parking is at a premium.

Some really nice shops....Galveston is back on my "fun" list. A few years ago I dreaded the thought of going to Galveston but things are improving every visit.

Lots of great shops! Just a super place to hang out before a cruise. Wish they would add more public restrooms!

This is a great place to wander the different shops, buy gifts, or just sit and people watch. Don't miss watching the taffy pulled at LA Kings Confectionery store.
