Bucket Brigade Interpretive Beach Tours

Saturdays & Sundays

May 30 – August 30, 2020

Join the Bucket Brigade in exploring the creatures and features that make Galveston beaches unique! There is more to the Sargassum and turbid water than many people think, and there is much more to be found on the beach than just sand. Tours are educational and fun for ocean-lovers of all ages. Hands-on activities investigate topics including Galveston’s turbid water, marine debris, Sargassum landings, and more! All ages welcome!

The beach tours are offered on Saturdays and Sundays and last approximately 45 minutes.
