I love that place! I drive from Dallas on a Sunday just to go there and hangout.
Great place to window shop and see things you might not see anywhere else. They have a good selection of island gifts.
This shop has some unusual finds. We made two trips there on our recent stay on the Island. The staff is kind and helpful. There is something there for everyone. The sock collection is such fun.
Such a neat shop! Prices were a little lower on some of the common souvenirs. Lots of amazing art and crystal gifts, even a good toy section for the little ones!
Blown away by the outstanding customer service I received from Wendy and staff. If you are down on the island, this store is a must stop. I will absolutely be back and not hesitate to purchase from them again.
This is my FAVORITE store on the strand here in Galveston! The staff are always so helpful and welcoming AND they have the cutest must haves. I always choose this store when Im shopping for Christmas presents for the family. They have something for everyone! You will love their sock tree!Last week I was in for a birthday present for my niece (the cutest little mermaid earrings) and I so appreciated the staff all wearing masks and enforcing that everyone inside wear masks as well. I felt safe and was able to find the perfect gift.Make sure you check them out this holiday season.
Amazing and diverse products. Incredible staff!! Im so happy we stumbled upon this gem on The Strand!
We have always had a great experience when shopping at The Admiralty! The staff is very kind and courteous, and we greatly appreciate them enforcing mask wearing during this time. Today I was able to check out their Christmas merchandise, as well as purchase a cute new mask! Their sock collection is so much fun as well. A must-visit on The Strand!
Cute items in store! And I loved the homemade candles and sprays.
This is one of the nicest gift shops on the strand. Not to mention the manager of the store waited for me to get to their location after they closed to pick up an item I paid for previously over the phone. Service and quality are both top notch! Thank you Admiralty on the strand.
One of my favorite shops on the Strand. They have a wonderful collection of nautical related gifts.
My family loves Admirality! We make sure we shop here every time we’re in Galveston. They always have new and unique beach decor, souvenirs for everyone, and even historical finds. Love their books about the history of Galveston too. This has been our favorite store for years in Galveston! The staff is kind, helpful, and has put the safety of their customers and staff top priority during this difficult time. My family greatly appreciates your efforts with this.
We love this store! Its my favorite! Great selection and beautiful displays. Sales staff is always very helpful and accommodating. Theyve even ordered items that I requested. We visit every time were in Galveston and always find something we cant live without! 🧜♀️
Such a great gem! The owner is there and is really helpful!

My kids and I love visiting Galveston and shopping at all the shops up and down the Strand but The Admiralty is definitely our favorite place to visit! I have made many purchases from this shop and absolutely love their merchandise. For anyone planning to spend any time on Galveston Island this shop is highly recommended!
Great shop on the strand! Use to go every year and buy some blown glass stuff and awesome trinket boxes I guess they would be called. Haven’t been down to Galveston lately but always go when we make it down there!
My favorite shop in Galveston! We visit every year and purchase a Christmas ornament and other keepsakes. It’s become tradition. This past summer, I was so grateful employees were asking patrons to put on their masks. See you summer 2021!
Great shop for one of a kind Galveston items! Something for all ages!!
What a great shop, with nautical decor and beautiful gifts. One of our go to shops every time we visit Galveston. We always find unique items there, for gifts, especially for our grandchildren. Do yourself a favor and stop in, you will be glad you did!!! Their wonderful helpful staff, will be there to great you!
I love The Admiralty on the Strand! Every time I’m in Galveston I make sure to stop in, not only for gifts but (mainly) for goodies for me! They have lots of beautiful and unique items and it’s on my must-stop list anytime I’m on the island. The owners and staff are awesome and are always so welcoming and helpful! If you only have time to stop at one gift shop, start at the Admiralty on the Strand!
This place is a must when visiting Galveston! An awesome locally owned business on the historic Strand streetExcellent place to buy one of a kind and special gifts. I bought my daughter a gorgeous jellyfish lamp and have a friend that loves the arty fun socks they sell. Friendly staff that is super helpful and always fun new stuff to see.
This little shop on the Strand saved my sanity during the Covid shutdown in the Spring of 2020. These ladies went above and beyond to serve customers during a difficult time. Offering curbside service and opening up an online shopping option was genius. They were so helpful and open to serving in any way they could - curbside pick up, delivery, and even shipping! All are so warm and friendly too. One of the best businesses on the island! ❤️
Have been coming down to Galveston since 2014. Every time we are down we love to come to this store!! Love all of the neat things and always buy something! Everyone has always been so helpful and friendly!!!
I love this store. My family and I make regular trips to Galveston and this store is always a must stop. The store is gorgeous and the staff is above and beyond sweet and helpful. If youre ever on The Strand I highly recommend you check them out. You wont be disappointed.
Local favorite. Very cool store. From the moment you walk in, its refreshing. Can almost feel the sea breeze and hear the waves crashing. They have great taste & quality things. Every time Im there, I find something that amazes me. Big selection. Great place to Christmas shop, something for everyone. Ive bought gifts for: babies; 5 yr old boys; teenagers; Sisters; dads; Grandmothers. One of those must visit places that has been on the strand for decades.
This is one of our favorite places to shop each time we visit Galveston Island. Our home and our daughters home is filled with many beautiful one of a kind finds from this lovely store. The staff is truly the very best! We love this darling shop!!!!! ♥️
Definitely one of my all-time favorite places to shop! They have the best selection of gits, cool nautical treasures, jewelry, books, puzzles, beautiful pieces for your home and even awesome stuff for kiddos! I never leave empty handed!
This store is an absolute gem in Galveston. Their collection of unique gifts, art and beyond make them a spot beloved by locals as well as tourists. I personally appreciate how theyve kept operations thriving amid the wackiness of the Coronavirus AND kept public safety a top priority.
Been going to this shop for years — as a tourist and now as a local! Every time I visit, the shop owner and staff are incredibly kind, always greeting with a smile and going above and beyond to help. This is One place we tell all our friends and family is a Must-Visit when they’re in town. In this craziness of COVID, The Admiralty staff ensure all of our safety by abiding by CDC precautions. I really appreciate that they care so much for our community, for our visitors, and for each other. We ❤️ You, Admiralty!
The Admiralty is one of my favorite stores on the Strand in Galveston, TX. So many unique items!! I always find one of a kind gifts for the people I love (and myself too).

Whenever I go to the island, I make sure to stop in to the Admirality. It is by far my favorite store on the strand! I have never had a bad experience there.These are island folk and treat each and everyone with the greatest respect. Comments about having to wear a mask are ridiculous! Hello people, we have a pandemic going on and they are trying to keep their business running while making sure they are not a cause of the spread. It’s not much to ask. Don’t like it? Don’t go in.I for one will continue to shop at the Admirality because I love their wares!Plain and simple!
Great place to shop. Lots of variety. Unique gifts. Thank God they require a mask.
I have stopped there many times. They have ordered things for me several times. Always friendly and helpful.I take visitors to Galveston there to show what the Strand is.
