Seawall Interpretive Trail (Project SIT) is an outdoor activity in Galveston, TX, part of the Houston & Galveston guide. Cost: free.

Seawall Blvd, 6th St to 60th St · Galveston, TX

Why you should go…

Project SIT, the Seawall Interpretive Trail, is Artist Boat's eco-art project that turned roughly 70 benches along Galveston's historic Seawall Boulevard into mosaic artworks. Each bench interprets a theme of Galveston Island, Galveston Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, from coastal processes and wildlife to maritime heritage. Visitors walk or bike the trail at their own pace between 6th Street and 60th Street; the benches are always accessible and free. Artists were chosen by jury and local students painted several of the benches.
