Beach Hotels in Galveston, TX

Get away from the everyday rat race with a weekend (or week) at the beach. You can swim with dolphins, visit museums, or spend the day lazing on the sand. However you prefer to spend your time away, we have the top Galveston beach hotels that will ensure you’re right in the mix of it all.

More than 30 miles of coastline means there’s plenty of space for everyone to enjoy time by the water. Once you’re finished at the beach, you can enjoy a variety of seafood restaurants and bars for a drink. It’s easy to fill your time with activities in and out of the water when you’re looking to be busy. You can also find a spot on the beach without a problem, as there are more than half a dozen beaches on Galveston Island.

Look out over the beautiful Gulf of Mexico and take in the fresh sea air at one of our Galveston beach hotels. Those with rooms facing seaward can enjoy a beautiful morning as the sun rises over the horizon. In contrast, westward-facing rooms can enjoy the scenic skyline of downtown Galveston, known as the Strand, and take in the bustling nightlife. You’re never more than a few minutes away from beautiful beaches that provide plenty of fun for everyone from sunup until sundown. Those who enjoy the nightlife can take a moonlit walk on the beach to watch the moon’s reflection dance on the waves of this corner of the Atlantic Ocean.

Galveston beach hotels offer access to entertainment and food for travelers of every age. If you’re looking to stay dry, choose from downtown Galveston activities like museums, art galleries, and amusement parks in Moody Gardens and Schlitterbahn Waterpark to fill your day. You can easily escape the sun for a few hours at the Galveston Naval Museum at Seawolf Park or learn about the city’s role in settling Texas at the Galveston Railroad Museum.

Get your fill of local fare with restaurants that serve delicious local seafood options like catfish, oysters, shrimp, and famous seafood gumbo. You’ll find that everybody claims to serve the best gumbo in town, but you can take the time to be the judge if you want. If you’re not one for seafood, try local favorites that serve Tex-Mex or barbecue. Take in the nightlife with bars and cantinas open to taking in beachgoers after the sun goes down.

You’ll never be more than a few minutes away from feeling the sand between your toes or some of the most popular watering holes in the area. Come for any of the annual sandcastle building competitions, to go on an adventure and swim with dolphins, or simply to check another location off your bucket list. Our best beach hotels in Galveston offer excellent placement central to beaches and all downtown activities.
