Whether you’re strolling down the Strand, touring historic homes, or eating Shipley’s donuts on the sand, the port town is always a great time. Use this quick guide for the perfect spring day in Galveston.

Why go: Explore this coastal city that opens the Gulf of Mexico to all of Texas with activities for all types of travelers.
Food: Nothing beats fresh seafood after a long day in the salty air. Shake off the sand and head to Gaido’s for the catch of the day + seasonal sides.
Explore: Catch the ferry to Bolivar Peninsula and get a little lost at Fort Travis Seashore Park.
Vrbo: Coffee on the porch of this 3-bedroom, 3-bath cottage? Yes, please. Plus, the Ave. O Chateau is steps away from Pleasure Pier. (~$548/night)*

Drink

An electric wine opener is one of those inexpensive kitchen gadgets that you don’t know how you lived without once you get one. We especially love this one for its sleek design and ergonomic grip. To upgrade your wine even further, this set includes an automatic wine aerator and reusable vacuum stopper.

Travel

Trying to talk someone into an April vacation? Just show them these hotel deals on Expedia. We love: The Islander Resort that’s on a private beach in the Florida Keys.

Wellness

What’s in: red light therapy. What’s out: forms of treatment that are painful and invasive. Red light therapy is non-invasive and painless, and evidence suggests it may be able to ease body aches, heal sun damage, and build collagen. Brb — we’re adding this easy-to-prop light and this facial massager to our Amazon cart.
