About This Beach
Meacom’s Pier Beach centers around the historic 61st Street Fishing Pier (formerly Meacom’s Pier), offering a traditional pier experience with beach access adjacent. The pier extends into the Gulf providing excellent fishing opportunities, particularly for speckled trout, redfish, and seasonal species. The beach area below features umbrella and chair rentals with convenient facilities. The location at 61st Street and Seawall Boulevard offers easy access to numerous restaurants, shops, and hotels. The pier features a bait shop, equipment rentals, and concessions. This area represents the mid-point of Galveston’s Seawall, making it a central location for exploring the island’s attractions. Public art installations and historical markers along the nearby seawall add cultural interest to the beach experience.
