canuckcruiselover Posted December 5, 2011 #1 Share Posted December 5, 2011 We'll be there in a few weeks and I'm wondering whether the Galveston stores have a decent variety of swimwear and summer clothes. We don't have much selection in Toronto this time of year (dah) but I assume that with Galveston's warmer climate, there might be stores that carry summer clothes year-round . . . and probably much cheaper than here.

You'll have to go to a shop that sells specifiaclly beachwear, but yes you can find some. I know Bargain Beachwear is open year-round, not sure on the others. There's a list of shops on galveston.com, so you may want to call in advance to verify if they are seasonal or not. http://www.galveston.com/surfandbeach/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloGaleRNTX Posted December 6, 2011 #3 Share Posted December 6, 2011 When I sailed out of Galveston a couple of years ago, I had lost about 75 pounds between the time swim-suits were readily available and the time of the cruise. I was able to get a couple of really cute suits at a shop on the SeaWall. I still wear them now - 2 years later! Happy Sailing! Barbara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tlplano Posted December 6, 2011 #5 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Last January, my wife was able to find swimsuits at Wal-Mart. They were under $30 and have lasted all year. She still uses them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGBCruiser Posted December 6, 2011 #6 Share Posted December 6, 2011 There are several swimwear/beachwear shops on the seawall and I've bought swimsuits there. You shouldn't have any problem finding a swimsuit. Actually, I live down here in SE Texas and you can't find any swimsuits in the department stores here either. I found one in Houston at a shop called Everything But Water. They had a huge selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
