Fantastic spot! Love the sculpture and the reason why it was put up. I hope it stands tell forever. A MUST VISIT spot if you are near or in Galveston.
With the beach behind, it’s amazing.

Cool place to take a photo.
Big sandy beaches and "not-too-cold" water makes this a good place to visit. You may not swim close to the piers due to rip currents. Lifeguards were on duty when we visited. Parking is free on the north side of the road, but pay-by-phone on the south side.
To Many good things to say about spending some time in galveston & bringing the drums to play in any occasion.
Great place for spring break vacation. Weather was around 70-75 all week. Bit cold to swim but perfect for lounging around on the beach.
We greeted the first sunrise of 2021 from the Galveston Seawall. Beautiful.
This marker highlights the civil engineering landmark that is Galveston Island’s Seawall. The marker was erected in 2001 by the American Society of Civil Engineers. Following the hurricane of 1900, the greatest natural disaster of U.S. history, with the loss of 6,000 lives, civil engineers designed and built a concrete seawall and raised the elevation of Galveston Island, using pioneering materials and methods, so that after almost 100 years and numerous hurricanes, only minimal damage and loss of life have occurred.
