Seawall Interpretive Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Seawall Interpretive Trail is an iconic location, nestled in the heart of the city's bustling beach area, lined with a variety of shops and restaurants. Spanning over 10 miles, it boasts the nation's longest continuous sidewalk. After the Great Storm of 1900 destroyed most of the city, the community came together to build the protective seawall that is here today. There are 70 concrete benches along the route with hand-painted mosaics telling the story of the history and ecology of the Texas Coast.

Galveston Seawall

Highlight • Cycleway

about 16 km long use by biker, jogger, etc. The seawall is supposed to protect Galveston from flooding. However, it usually doesn’t work because the wall is far too low, and the city itself lies about two meters lower, so it often gets flooded during high water.
