The shoals and shallows of Galveston Bay, the beaches and
wetlands of the islands - all are graced by the spirits of
history. Spirits of native people who harvested oysters here
thousands of years ago. Spirits of French and Spanish explorers,
of the pirate Jean Laffite.
Historic Galveston remains a true architectural jewel -
from the shops, restaurants, and galleries of the famous
Strand - once known as Wall Street of the South - to a treasury
of carefully restored homes, public buildings, and parks.
Building on all this nearby history is Beachtown, a genuine
seaside village that blends seamlessly with what has come
before.
