About This Beach
Terramar Beach is a primarily residential beach area on the west end of Galveston Island, offering a more local experience than tourist-centered beaches. Public access points allow visitors to enjoy the same beautiful Gulf views as the beachfront homeowners. Vehicle access is permitted in designated areas, making it convenient for fishing and transporting beach equipment. The beach tends to be less crowded than areas along the Seawall, even during summer months. The west end location provides stunning sunset views over the Gulf waters. Basic facilities are limited, so visitors should come prepared with supplies. The beach is popular with locals for evening beach bonfires (where permitted) and overnight camping. Nearby bait shops cater to the active fishing community with supplies and local knowledge.
