If you are looking for more nature and activity, head west to Galveston Island State Park, where you can go walking along the boardwalks, kayaking through the bayou, and bird-watching on either the bay or ocean side.

Bird watching hotspot as well as a nice to catch and release fish.

Although Galveston has its fair share of light pollution, one stargazing spot is still worthy of your time on Houston’s favorite island. Galveston Island State Park is located far enough from the heart of the city that you can enjoy clear skies and spottable constellations at night. Set yourself up on the beach side of the park with your binoculars, or stroll along the boardwalks while the stars shine down on you from above. After a long day of outdoor activities, make this park your last stop before heading home. Or better yet, camp out for the night!
