Getting here.
Perfectly located on the East End of Galveston Island at the intersection of Highway 87 and Seawall Blvd, the Sandpiper RV Resort is steps away from family friendly Stewart Beach, the University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston Yacht Basin, the historic downtown Strand District, the cruise terminal and the many shops, museums and attractions of sunny Galveston Island.
From Houston and I-45
Take I-45 south over the Galveston Causeway. Stay on Broadway (Avenue J) straight through town to its end at the Seawall, about seven miles. Turn left onto Seawall Blvd; the resort gate is immediately on the left, a quarter mile along, at Ferry Road.
From the Bolivar ferry
Leaving the ferry landing, follow Ferry Road (Highway 87) south for a mile and a half. It ends at Seawall Blvd, and the resort is on your right at the junction.
Rig notes
The turn in from Seawall Blvd is wide enough for 75 ft pull-throughs. Speed limit inside the resort is 5 MPH. One RV and two vehicles per site; vehicles and golf carts stay on the paved roads. Check-in is at the office, 1:00 PM for RV sites.
Trolley and bikes
The Seawall trolley starts at Stewart Beach, a 0.3-mile walk, and runs to Moody Gardens on service days. The ten-mile Seawall path begins at the gate; bike rentals are nearby.
If the weather turns
Hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30. I-45 is the road off the island; the ferry stops in high wind. In a mandatory evacuation, unused camping credit vouchers may be issued.
