About this place
If you're walking around The Strand in Galveston, you have to stop at La King's. It looks like an old-school candy shop from the 1920s. You can stand by the windows and watch them pull saltwater taffy on huge machines. It is pretty cool to see how they make the candy right there in the store.
Inside, there is a long marble counter where soda jerks make milkshakes and malts. They still use original equipment for their ice cream and sodas. It usually gets busy on weekends, so be prepared for a short wait.

Travel series
Texas - Western Caribbean
This series follows our journey to Texas and beyond, starting in Houston and Galveston before boarding Harmony of the Seas for a Western Caribbean adventure. It’s our first time sailing on an Oasis Class ship, and our first time exploring this corner of the Caribbean, so everything feels a little bigger, louder, and more curious than usual. Before the cruise even begins, we spend a few days wandering Houston and Galveston—eating well, poking around local spots, and easing into travel mode—then it’s off to sea to see how this mega-ship and this region live up to their reputations. Big ship, new destinations, first impressions only.
