City advice
Book before you go
Golf Cart Rentals
Please keep in mind that during peak busy season (May-August), golf cart rentals can be hard to come by. It is always best to book in advance during these months if possible!
Getting around
Larger Stores (Target, Walmart, etc.)
There are some larger chain stores such as Target, Walmart, etc. located in both Galveston, TX and Beaumont, TX. During off season, Galveston is a quick ferry ride and easy to get to, but during peak busy season we recommend driving up to Beaumont to avoid long wait times with ferry traffic.
