  • It's the Santa Monica Pier of the South! The Galveston Island Historic Pleasure Pier was originally built as a recreational facility for the United States military during World War II. In the 1940's, it was transformed into the Galveston Pleasure Pier. The new pier complex is located where the original Pleasure Pier stood from 1943 until 1961, when it was destroyed by Hurricane Carla. It was also the site of the USS Flagship Hotel, an over-the-water hotel built in 1965 that was demolished after Hurricane Ike in 2008. Renovation began in 2011 as an amusement park then reopened in 2012.

    It wasn't there until after the last hurricane wiped out most of the island that wasn't protected by the seawall. It took out that big fancy hotel, the Flagship. It was on the water. I went to nursing school there in the early 70's. So many memories.....

    Galveston and it's beaches are a nice place. People love to take a big dump on Galveston and it's beaches, i.e., they're nasty, dirty, don't compare to California, Hawaii, Florida, etc, etc...or obviously not as pretty and cool as South Padre Island, but it's not that bad. Galveston beaches are not top tier, but they are not as shitty as people make them out to be. Galveston is a beautiful historical town, and the beaches are OK, nice enough. The breeze makes it cool, even in the summer months, much cooler than the rest of Texas.

      The pier is historic because it was the place of the Flagship Hotel before a hurricane destroyed it. The amusement park is a great way to continue to give life to the pier.
