Galveston Monthly Magazine | Beachcombing: The Beach Marble Mystery
Find out how these tiny glass spheres became the ultimate beachcomber prize.

If you ask any avid beachcomber whether they’ve ever found a marble on the beach, they’ll either beam with pride or admit they’ve been searching for one for years - sometimes decades.

A simple glass marble, worth only a few cents, has become one of the most sought-after and elusive beach finds in the world. Finding one can make a beachcomber’s entire day and earns instant bragging rights.

Why the fascination? For many collectors, a beach marble is a kind of cross collectible - part sea glass, part childhood nostalgia.

Galveston Monthly Magazine | Saturday, June 13 Recommended Event
Galveston ArtWalk | 6-9pm
ArtWalk lights up the island with vibrant galleries, artists, and ever-changing exhibits. Free and self-guided, it’s the perfect evening to explore culture and community, and sip on complimentary adult beverages.

Brochures of participating locations are available at the Galveston Arts Center, 2127 Strand, and online at galvestonartscenter.org. The event takes place throughout the downtown historic district.

It's the perfect opportunity to get out in the cooler nighttime weather to enjoy a night of fun at ArtWalk and the many opportunities to shop and dine downtown.

Attached is the current June 2026 Galveston Galleries with more details about galleries and artists.

Galveston Monthly Magazine | Galveston History - Hale Haven & the Maceo Legacy

Hale Haven, the Mid‑Century Modern gem at 22 Cedar Lawn Circle, has a fascinating connection to Galveston’s legendary Maceo family. The home was once owned by Loranzy Grilliette and his wife, Olivia Rita Fertitta - daughter of Giuseppe “Frank” Fertitta and Olivia Frances Maceo.

Visitors driving through the secluded Cedar Lawn subdivision often look twice when they pass the home. Its rounded modernist lines stand apart from the neighborhood’s more traditional silhouettes.

What they may not realize is that the house was built with purpose - and carries a story as distinctive as its design.

Galveston Monthly Magazine | Beachcombing - Treasures From the Deep
Exploring the rarity, science, and surprising stories behind Great White shark teeth found along the Gulf Coast.

It’s very rare to find Great White shark teeth in and around Galveston Island. It’s not because Great Whites aren’t in the Gulf - they absolutely are - but their teeth simply don’t turn up on our area beaches very often.

Instead, we’re far more likely to find teeth from more common species such as bull, tiger, and mako sharks. Bull shark teeth, in particular, are the ones we see most frequently along our stretch of the Texas coastline...

Galveston Monthly Magazine | June 2026 | Unique Island Experiences
Five unique Galveston businesses offering hands on adventures, heartfelt stories, and memorable moments you won’t find anywhere else.

Whether it’s paddling through protected wetlands while learning watercolor techniques, sculpting towering sandcastles beside the Gulf, slipping into a fantasy mermaid photoshoot, listening to ghost stories rooted in documented island history, or cruising the harbor beside playful dolphins, Galveston’s tourism scene has become refreshingly interactive.
And perhaps most importantly, these businesses reflect the island itself - quirky, artistic, deeply layered, and entirely unlike anywhere else on the Texas coast.

Galveston Monthly Magazine | June 2026 | The Issue
Our June issue is officially hitting the stands across Galveston, and you can read the entire digital edition online right now at
https://g67media.com/issues/2026/June2026/.

This month, we’re shining a spotlight on Cedar Lawn, one of the island’s most architecturally rich and quietly fascinating neighborhoods, which is celebrating its 100th anniversary this month.

We also highlight Hale Haven, a Mid-Century Modern home at 22 Cedar Lawn with a unique history. The home was once owned by members of the Maceo family circle - Loranzy Grilliette and his wife, Olivia Rita Fertitta. Olivia’s parents were Giuseppe Joseph Frances “Frank” Fertitta and Olivia Frances Maceo.

We’re also excited to share our Unique Island Experiences feature - a curated look at five Galveston businesses offering hands-on adventures, heartfelt stories, and memorable moments you won’t find anywhere else.

Our June 2026 cover features a stunning photograph taken by Alia Benavides, capturing a Purple Gallinule in a moment of quiet morning light. This image reflects more than the beauty of a single species - it celebrates the extraordinary color, diversity, and resilience found within nature’s hidden places.

Galveston Monthly Magazine | The 1877 ELISSA departure delayed

The 1877 ELISSA’s much-anticipated departure from the Galveston Historic Seaport has shifted to June 10. This additional time is needed to ensure equipment and crew are prepared for a safe journey with the almost 150-year-old National Historic Landmark. We remain excited for this voyage and look forward to sailing to New York for the America 250 celebration, along with planned stops in Boston, Savannah, and Pensacola on her return. Due to the revised schedule, the previously planned stops in Yorktown and Portsmouth will no longer be included in the itinerary. Visit galveston250.com for the latest appearance dates, times, and events.
