What February feels like
Mardi Gras Galveston takes over the Strand for two weekends and is the biggest thing on the island calendar outside of summer. The water stays winter-cold, so the beach is for walking; the historic district and the Bishop's Palace are the reason to be down here.
Expect about 3 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around.
Can you swim?
The Gulf runs about 58° — cold — a quick dip takes resolve.
