Your Waterfront Escape Starts Here!

Under the vision of owner John Turner, The West End Marina & Restaurant has become one of West Galveston Bay's most iconic waterfront destinations. Over the past 13 years, what began as a humble bait camp has transformed into a vibrant gathering place for locals and visitors alike. From waterfront dining and tropical bars to boat slips, fuel, a bait shop, and retail shopping, The West End offers a little something for everyone. Enjoy a delicious meal upstairs at the Palapa, or kick back downstairs at the Sandbar, Tropicana, Oasis, or Dunes. With stunning 360-degree water views, refreshing drinks, and a laid-back coastal atmosphere, you'll be on island time the moment you arrive.
