Galveston Live Cam

Mention the word "Texas," and lots of images come to mind: cowboys, wide-open spaces, the Houston skyline, and cattle are some. But the rest of the nation tends to forget that there’s a third coast to these United States. As it happens, all 624 miles that make up the southeastern border of Texas is coastline, the end of the line for the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico. From Houston to Brownsville, Texans in this region enjoy swimming, surfing, windsurfing, and boating on practically a daily basis. Why not? With temperatures that hardly ever dip below the 30s, the Gulf Coast is a year-round outdoor paradise.
