Fruitful fishing waters around Galveston Island provide local restaurants with the freshest and largest selection of seafood on the Gulf of Mexico, and area eateries presents these fruits of the sea at their tastiest.

Although freshly-caught seafood is a resounding favorite on the Island, area menus offer tastes from around the world, ranging from well-known Cajun favorites to Tuscan secret recipes.

You'll find succulent steaks, juicy chicken dishes, and plenty of vegetarian options from which to choose. In fact, when it’s time to dine there are more than 100 restaurants to choose from.

After dinner, don't forget to treat yourself to one of our wonderful desserts. Specialties range from mouth-watering pecan pie and home-made cakes, to tempting international treats like tres leches and tiramisu.

And then? Catch a few sets of live music and top off the evening with a waterfront stroll down the Seawall. The Strand, Pier 21 and Postoffice Street area are home to art galleries housed in brightly painted Victorian buildings. On a Saturday evening about every six weeks, the galleries host an Artwalk, featuring changing artists’ works.
