Galveston is expensive for hotels as it is such a quick weekend getaway for us from Houston. Want to go on the weekend and even the cheap hotels are around $200 a night.

Any updates on the seaweed situation? Which beaches are the best (we don't mind paying) to avoid it and the smell as much as possible?

We were there last weekend and it is still coming in. Not as bad as the end of June but still gross. They are still cleaning it off the public beaches regularly.

Here are some pix from yesterday Aug 15. It was floating all over the place in the water. No smell.

Default Galveston's Summer of Seaweed, comes to an end !

Summer of Seaweed winds down

The long stretches of seaweed that once blanketed many of the beaches along Texas' Gulf Coast are washing away. The unrelenting waves of marine algae that began drifting ashore in the spring are dwindling.
As the Summer of Seaweed winds down in beach communities, officials and some businesses are breathing a sigh of relief that the Sargassum invasion didn't put too much of a dent in local tourism.

I love it , even with all the bashing Galveston tourism just keeps humming along !

Have a great Labor Day weekend everybody!
