Galveston is a coastal resort city on Galveston Island and Pelican Island in the U.S. state of Texas. Covering about 208.3 square miles (539 km²), it had a population of 47,762 people according to a 2012 Census estimate. It is the county seat and second-largest city in Galveston County and is part of the Houston–The Woodlands–Sugar Land metropolitan area. Named after Bernardo de Gálvez y Madrid, Count of Gálvez, Galveston’s first European settlements were built on the island around 1816 by French pirate Louis-Michel Aury to support the Republic of Mexico in its struggle against Spain. The Port of Galveston was founded in 1825 by the Congress of Mexico after it gained independence from Spain. During the Texas Revolution, Galveston served as the main port for the Texas Navy and later became the capital of the Republic of Texas. In the 19th century, Galveston developed into a major U.S. commercial hub and one of the largest ports in the country. The city was devastated by the 1900 Galveston Hurricane, which caused severe flooding and a deadly storm surge. This natural disaster on the exposed barrier island remains the deadliest in U.S. history, with an estimated 6,000 to 12,000 deaths. Today, Galveston’s economy is driven largely by tourism, health care, shipping, and financial services. A key economic anchor is the 84-acre (340,000 m²) campus of the University of Texas Medical Branch, which enrolls more than 2,500 students. Galveston also features six historic districts and one of the largest, most significant collections of 19th-century buildings in the United States, with more than 60 structures listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Another site is near the village of El Cedral, inland from the "Carretera Costera Sur" highway. In Punta Sur Park, located at the southernmost point of the island, you can find the "El Caracol" temple, which is believed to have been used as a lighthouse by the Mayans.

perfect day cococay - bahamas

Arrival: 08:30 - Departure: 17:00

CocoCay, also known as Little Stirrup Cay, is a private island in the Bahamas and part of the Berry Islands, a chain of small cays and islands located about 55 miles north of Nassau. It is used exclusively for tourism by Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. Little Stirrup Cay sits next to Great Stirrup Cay, which has been Norwegian Cruise Line’s private island since 1977. In 2019, Royal Caribbean carried out a major $250 million USD renovation of the island. A pier was built on the north side so cruise ships can dock directly instead of relying on tenders. The east end of the island is the main hub for activities, with beaches along a coral basin where visitors can see manatees, rays, and many tropical fish. Nature trails cross the island from end to end. The renovation also added a large water park that features Daredevil’s Peak, the tallest water slide in North America.
