Galveston Island - The Seawall was built after the devastating hurricane of 1900.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Miles of beautiful sandy beaches with
    stunning ocean views …
The Seawall that includes the longest
    continuous sidewalk …

Thank you for your kind words and for my placement. I love Galveston Island, an island that has so much to offer, it's natural beauty, man made mansions and garden (Moody Garden) and history. I forgot, seafood ... Blessings.
