'Tis the season to start planning your 2019 Galveston vacation! Our Vacation Planners will be hitting mailboxes starting January 7 but, in the meantime, here are some of our new Galveston Island favorites!

We've had some delicious new restaurants open in Galveston, including Pennie's Tex Mex Take Out and Lolo Kai Smoothies & Wraps. Pennie's offers tamales and bbq, including brisket, link sausage and their amazing weekends-only barbacoa & seasonal menudo. Lolo Kai serves up lighter fare, with a full wrap & smoothie menu in addition to their unique acai bowls.

Looking for something to liven up your weekend away? Check out Vintage Crown Boutique & Bar for their famous micheladas (the perfect accompaniment on a hot island day) or head over to Seawall Blvd. and tour the Texas Tail Distillery, offering a variety of locally-produced vodka, whiskey & moonshine.

Feeling a little adventurous? Book a flight with Skydive Galveston and see the island from a totally different angle! Soar in the sky and view all 23 miles of Galveston beaches with this family-friendly tandem skydive service.

Not into heights? Keep your feet closer to the ground and book a tour with SegCity Segway Tours Galveston. From Haunted Legends to the Tree Carvings Tour, guests 14 years old+ can see the city in a new & fun way!
