About Galveston Island State Park
2,013.1 acres span the western end of Galveston Island, stretching between Gulf waters and the bay side of the island. The land is managed by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, which has overseen the site since it opened. Its position gives the park frontage on two different shorelines within a single tract, one facing the open Gulf and the other facing the bay.
Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
