As a romantic island getaway, Galveston boasts a 32-mile-long beach at its doorstep and a downtown historical district with shops straight out of the pages of a Victorian novel. Beach lovers have miles of oceanfront to explore and anglers can choose from pier, surf, deep-sea and bay fishing. Only minutes away is a nostalgia-filled streetscape where you can watch taffy being pulled, listen to a nickelodeon and browse in antique stores. Proud of its heritage, the city has a strong commitment to preservation. Attractions range from a restored sailing ship to a historic railroad museum. Castle-like Bishop's Palace ranks as one of the nation's 100 most outstanding buildings, and the East End Historical District is lined with Victorian homes. Also see Moody Gardens (home to one of the largest aquariums in the world), Sea Wolf Park, and the Lone Star Flight Museum.
