Shopping
A Great Place to Shop & Explore
The charming Victorian-era buildings of Galveston’s downtown district beckon shoppers with their ornate iron balconies and whimsical painted signs. The district offers more than 100 unique shops, attractions, restaurants and art galleries. The variety of the merchandise includes antiques, home décor, gifts, souvenirs, jewelry, books, specialty shops and clothing for the whole family.
Nestled along Galveston Harbor, Pier 21 offers waterfront views, delicious dining options and a cluster of attractions that showcase the island’s cultural and maritime heritage.
Historic downtown Galveston’s main shopping street, The Strand, draws visitors to its diverse collection of boutiques, gift shops, restaurants and attractions housed in majestic iron-front buildings that once made up the “Wall Street of the South.”
And even though downtown gets much of the spotlight, don’t forget the many shopping options on display along Galveston’s famed Seawall Boulevard, as well as the 61st Street corridor.
