East End Lagoon Nature Preserve — Attraction in Galveston

This nature preserve is at the far north end of Galveston Beach. I was surprised that there was almost no one there. It was a bit strange and deserted. At the time, the wind was blowing fairly intensely, which may have been part of the issue. Lots of seabirds. The water was too rough for swimming and there were many signs indicating that no swimming should be done. I could see quite a few folks fishing. There were marshy grasslands and wetlands In the vicinity. I think it is worth a visit if you are in Galveston. It is one of the few natural places that I could see...

One can drive to the further in of this marshland. It's going to be a 10 minute ride from the bay road. One can see a lot of ships travelling on the left side and reaching towards the port. You can also see a few migratory birds if you are at the right time of the year. You have some small beaches where you can take your cars just in front of the water and do some relaxing time. You will see a lot of people on the further side. Flocking to see the sealane and the traffic towards the port. Plan to spend around 1 hour to one and a half hours and even more depending on...

Great place, not super crowded, even though it’s “busier than usual.” I would say even off peak times are awesome! Empty beaches are the best.

Great place to see the ships coming and going to and from Houston. Or the ferry boat over to Port Bolivar. The people on the road are polite and make way because there is water over the road in places. It isn’t deep so any car can make it just fine.

But nice place in Galveston to...
