Is this sort of like having a 2nd home on the Louisiana coast? Recreational fishing being the primary purpose?

I've looked into a vacation in Galveston before - weekend type thing with it being so close to BR but doing research I never came away feeling like it was worth wasting a vacation there. But I've never been there so I could be wrong.

you can get to gulf shores, destin, etc. in the same amount of time as getting to Galveston from Baton Rouge.

If you live in BR don’t waste your vacation money on a trip to Galveston. The gulf beaches from Biloxi to the East are far superior to what Galveston has to offer.

As for the real estate prices in Galveston they to will feel wrath of a hurricane at some point and there will be great buys everywhere. Galveston and frankly Houston got damn lucky that hurricane Laura did not track that direction. Laura would have cleared Galveston and parts of south Houston off of the map.
