If you ever wondered where all the trash/medical waste,etc washes up first in the gulf and wanted to see it and smell it first hand then go straight to Galveston.I live in Houston and have gone several times over the years but it still is as bad as ever.I suppose it was great way back in the 1800s but not anymore.If you get tired of the beach(all 5 yards of it) then you can experience the slums and crackheads throughout the city as well.
its ok, the weather is always nice during spring and summer. Its always rainy during fall season.
