Our Goal: to learn about birds, observe them in the field, work to better their plight, and teach citizens about the environment.

Directions to GOS

Galveston Ornithological Society
3903 Shaman Road
Galveston, TX, 77554

Come down the Gulf Freeway (I-45) and take 61st Street right entering Galveston. Turn right on the Seawall and you'll leave town in about five minutes. The Seawall ends, but you stay on the same four-lane road. Where it becomes two-lane in Jamaica Beach, go 1.6 miles further, and turn right into Indian Beach. Take the FIRST right (quickly), which is Shaman, the road turns left 90 degrees, and dead ends into the cul-de-sac where the driveway is.
