Katie's Seafood House

This is a great lunch spot with a large deck on the bay. Lots of seafood selections and all locally sourced. Huge portions so good for sharing! Walk next door to see the seafood market.

Gypsy Joynt

Funky lunch spot with fun decor and a huge selection. Close to downtown and The Tremont House. Stop next door for the island's best cocktail at DTO.

Seawall Boulevard

The Seawall is the stretch along the beach. It's great for renting a bike and cruising. You can stop for lunch or have a drink on a patio overlooking the beach.

The Bryan Museum

This Texas history museum close to downtown has beautiful grounds and is a nice place to spend two hours. On Thursday afternoons and Sundays, there is a Farmer's Market on the grounds.

Island Bicycle Company

This is an easy to get to bike rental spot on the Seawall. The Seawall is best viewed by bike!

Yaga's Cafe

This is a casual brunch spot right near The Tremont House. Great place to start Saturday morning before seeing downtown and heading to the beach.
