Is West Galveston Island open tomorrow, Friday?

Post by richg99 »

I know it was closed a few weeks ago for some remodeling? I checked their site and it didn't mention the prior closing nor whether or not it was presently open.

Does anyone know for sure? I'd hate to drive 80 miles (one way) and find out that it was still closed. thanks.

I drove by two days ago just to check but I did not enter the park. The gate to the bayside of the park is indeed open. The website says all the launch sites are accessible.

Call them before you plan on entering. Both sides were closed a couple of weeks ago when I tried to organize a bike ride on the Bay Side.

I should know because I did a turtle beach patrol that started at the bay side storage yard today, but I entered through the "authorized access only" driveway. I didn't go through the gate or to the office.

We picked up a Yamaha UTV at the park and drove it down the beach to San Luis Pass and back. Didn't see any turtle sign.
