About This Beach
Jamaica Beach is a small, peaceful coastal community on the west end of Galveston Island that offers a quieter beach experience away from the more touristy areas. This residential beach town has public beach access points with less crowded shores than those near the Seawall. The beach features soft sand and moderate waves, ideal for casual swimming and sunbathing. The community maintains a family-friendly atmosphere with strict noise ordinances and speed limits. Jamaica Beach is close to Galveston Island State Park, combining convenient access with a more natural setting.
