Other Fun Summer Activities

Galveston, Texas is home to so many fun things to do and places to go. You’ll definitely want to plan an entire vacation when you come out fishing with Wave Dancer Charters.

One of the most popular spots to visit is Moody Gardens. Here, there is an IMAX theater, museum, aquarium, rope courses, and so much more. You’ll also find a fun golf course. Next door to Moody Gardens is Schlitterbahn Galveston, a thrilling waterpark. On your day off from fishing, splash around and hit the slides at Schlitterbahn!

Along with some fun spots to check out, there are also some beautiful beaches where you can soak up rays. These include Porretto Beach, East Beach, Stewart Beach, and many more. These beaches have clean water, soft sand, and even fun activities for your family and you to enjoy.

Galveston is a fishing destination and, as this is the case, it is home to some of the best seafood restaurants in the world (that serve the freshest fish). Some great restaurants in the area include Katie’s Seafood House, Black Pearl Oyster Bar, Vargas Cut and Catch, and Miller’s Seawall Grill.
