Galveston is a barrier island on the Gulf of Mexico, about 114 km south-east of Bush Intercontinental. The road runs through Houston on the Hardy Toll Road or Beltway 8 and then along the Gulf Freeway (I-45), past Clear Lake and League City, and crosses Galveston Bay on the causeway onto the island, where I-45 becomes Broadway. Traffic builds on I-45 through Houston at rush hour and on summer weekends and cruise days near the island.
The cruise terminals line Harborside Drive on the north side of the island, next to the Strand Historic District with its Victorian commercial buildings. Most beach hotels stand along Seawall Boulevard on the Gulf side, a 10 km promenade with the Galveston Island Historic Pleasure Pier, about 2 km south of the Strand. The quieter West End with holiday homes and Galveston Island State Park lies further west along the island.
Public transport: No METRO bus or train links IAH with Galveston; METRO services end in the Houston area.
