What are some things to do in Galveston? I will be with my dad hanging out for a day.

This might help

Aquarium at Moody Gardens is great.

Shrimp PoBoys at ShrimpNStuff and eat them down at end of East Beach watching the tankers come in and walk on the WW2 gun turrets.

Grab a loaf of bread and feed the seagulls.

Take the ferry to Bolivar and go 14 miles for BBQ crabs at Stingerays or 22 miles to the nude beach.

Hang out on The Strande with bars and shops, etc.

Do not go to the nude beach. It's not at all what you think it is.

I second not going to the nude beach.

You hear that and have visions of hot co-eds wrestling buttnaked in the sand.

What you get is old ladies with droopage that reminds fried eggs hanging on a nail.

Stuff to do:

Moody Gardens
The Strand
The Elissa & 1900 hurricane museum
I second the PoBoys
I also second taking the ferry to Bolivar for Stingaree's
RELAX (most important)

Spend lots of money, our local economy needs it
