It seems like you can walk forever along Gulf Shores Alabama. When I stay in Gulf Shores in a condo or motel and get a gulf front facing room I can open my balcony doors and hear the waves and smell the salt water. It is heaven.

A lot of the motels and condos have walkways down to the shore. Some of them are elevated like this one and involve a lot of stairs, but others are pretty straight and only involve a few stairs.

This is the Pleasure Pier on Galveston Island. Yes, that is an amusement park out on the pier. I took this picture from the balcony on the restaurant from across the street.
This picture was taken on Pleasure Pier looking toward the west side of the island.
This is a very good representation of what Galveston Island looks like. Here it is high tide and there is no sand to walk on at all.

I like the west end. I especially like the bay side, which is Galveston Bay. You see I grew up along the Chesapeake Bay in a little town called Saint Leonard in Calvert County Maryland, which is a peninsula surrounded by water on three sides, the Chesapeake Bay, the Potomac River and the Patuxent River. I love being around water. There is something about water that makes me peaceful. It must be wonderful to live here on the west end of Galveston Island on the bay side.
I took this picture from the dock of the Waterman Restaurant on Galveston Island. Nice! It must be amazing to wake up every day and look out the window and all you see is water, calm bay water.
Okay, so I pointed the camera in the other direction and here is something much more manageable. A little town home on the bay would work just fine for me.
As I was leaving this area I pulled into a neighborhood with homes on canals. This would work even better for with me. Although I don't have a boat, I bet I could find one.
There are lots of homes for sale on the bay side of Galveston Island. I think I might need to do some home searching!! Do you or have you ever lived on or near the water? Growing up I lived on the Chesapeake Bay and then many years later I lived on the Atlantic Ocean in Cape Canaveral Florida. They both had their advantages. I would love to live near the water again. I can hear it calling my name! Have you ever been to Galveston Island or Gulf Shores? I will share with you some more another time about the historical district of Galveston, Bishops Palace and Kemah, TX.

I live in Tampa and love Clearwater Beach and the sugar sand. I am with you in thinking it would be hard to unwind with the busy road.
ReplyDeleteMy brother lives in Gulf Shores and it really does have a beautiful beach area.
This past November I was in Clearwater Beach and it was beautiful, the sand was incredible. I do think Clearwater Beach is even better than Gulf Shores, but since I lived in Birmingham for many years I visited Gulf Shores the most. A large part of the reason I go to the beach is to unwind, relax and chill. The bay side of Galveston is very relaxing, I just need to find where I can unwind and relax on the bay side.
DeleteThanks, Patty
The water looks beautiful. I don't really care for the high rises. At various times, I've lived by the water. I like it.
ReplyDeleteMy opinion of high rises changes constantly, and I would prefer a little beach cottage on the bay side.
DeleteThanks, Patty
Hi Pati, Christine stopping by from Little Brags. What a beautiful beach!! I have never been to Texas. I now follow you through Google Friend Connect....
ReplyDeleteThank for the kind words Christine! Thank you so very much for following.
DeleteThanks, Patty
Hi Patty! Thanks so much for stopping by today and leaving a sweet comment on my Under the Sea Tablescape. It has been a long time since I have been to Galveston. We live in the DFW area and I keep wanting to get down to the Texas coast with my kiddos, but haven't managed to do it yet. I am now following you on GFC, Bloglovin' and Pinterest. I appreciate your kind words and the follow. I hope you have a great week.
ReplyDeleteblessings,

Nici, thank you for your kind words and for following!

I have been to Galveston and didn't like it at all. I now know why sooooo many people from Texas visit us here in Gulf Shores...our beaches are by far the best around:) I have been to a lot on beaches on the East and west coast and I still think we are the BEST! Thanks for coming by for a visit.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Linda
Patty,
ReplyDeleteAmazingly enough I have been to Galveston several times when we lived in the Houston area, that has been many, many years ago. I do know the gulf had some oil spills years back to deal with and that caused so many issues. At the same time I have been to Gulf Shores and thoroughly loved every moment of it! In just a few weeks we are going on a family vacation to Destin Florida-I am thrilled!
I so enjoyed your photos, and your writing. You presented us with some very interesting information!
I am a new follower!
Jemma
Hey Jemma! I do hope you enjoy your family vacation. I love Destin - ENJOY!!
DeletePatty
We have a house rented in Gulf Shores, AL coming up soon. Can't wait, best beach for a family vacation ever. I agree with your Galveston review.
ReplyDeleteOur family moved to Texas last summer and visited Galveston for the first (and so far only) time in November. It was really fun getting to play at the beach in the Fall when it was already starting to snow some other places in the country. However we were not impressed with the town of Galveston. It seemed kind of grimy and lacked charm.
ReplyDeleteLisa, I love going to the beach when it is not in season, it somehow feels like it is there just for me.
DeleteWelcome to Texas!
I know what you mean about the town of Galveston, however I did enjoy the historical homes, and I have to wonder if it didn't lose a lot of its charm in the last hurricane that came through. I love beach towns, but I can't say Galveston felt like a beach town at all. I actually like the towns to the north of Galveston and the south of Houston, Kemah for instance is right on the Galveston Bay and I am going to explore more around that area the next time I am down there.
Thanks, Patty
Texas is like a heaven on earth and most people from all over the world prefer to live here in Texas and that's because of beautiful natural and fresh environment.Even i also buy my home in High Meadow Estates and the place is just awesome to live.
ReplyDeleteAlbion, Texas is a huge state and there is so much diversity and beautiful places to see. High Meadow Estates looks like a lovely community.
