Really nice place to eat the food was really good great service if you eat on the patio watch out for the birds they are really aggressive and can’t wait until you leave your plate unattended
American Pontiac Association hosted a car show at this location, and it was a great time! Lots of history, boat rides, Offshore Oil Museum and great restaurants in the area as well.
Pier 21 is such an amazing stop before you get on a ship! The views are amazing. The walk is serene! Overall, it would be a great place to stop by during your travels. Here are a few pictures!
Nice place but always visit with planning and early. Parking is a huge issue and getting boats at festivals is a major bummer. Waiting can go easily beyond 1 hour … need to have a better crowd management… otherwise worth a watch for Texas
We visited the 1877 Tall Ship Elissa and got a bonus of seeing the Gunilla which was in Port. We talked to a couple of the Elissa crew who just graduated from school and would be a part of her crew that will take her out to sea. The Gunilla has students from Sweden learning how to sail the open ocean. The group that was on board was heading back to Florida on Monday and then home as a new group of students was coming out to take over. It was very interesting to see the ships being maintained and in complete working order.
We decided to explore and discover a new area of Galveston that we had never visited before. This area was lovely to walk through even on a rainy day. The view across the water is gorgeous, and the area with fishing boats was so cute to see. We also saw a large wooden ship that looked like an old pirate ship and many interesting things to look at. There are lots of restaurants in the area as well and close to the historic strand area. I will share some pictures here as well highly recommended for all ages.
The crew were awesome! Great personalities and excellent with children! They were incredibly informative and made sure we got to see dolphins! I love these guys and will happily book with them again in the future!
Pier 21 offers several attractions, three restaurant options and a nice walkable waterfront area. It is two blocks north of the Strand; neighbors the original Cruise Terminal (easily accessible from the RC cruise terminal). And don't forget to visit the Elisa. Relax and watch the sunset, or just enjoy viewing the boats and barges that go by.....
