Many areas throughout southern Texas are notorious for being pristine areas for affluent folks to plant their roots. Lake Austin is no exception, it is an area where lawyers, doctors, and other esteemed professionals have settled their families to expose them to the best that life has to offer.

Known for being an area keen on working hard and playing hard, socializing in the area will land you among families, affluent professionals, and entrepreneurs. As such, mornings are busy, with roads and sidewalks filled with people headed to school or work. Afternoons offer a quiet reprieve while everyone is chipping away at their daily duties. The close of a work day will bring a livelier feel while people cruise the streets to meet with friends for dinner or visit a local park to enjoy a sunset on a warm Texas evening.

Dining, Entertainment & Shopping

It’s virtually impossible to mention the surroundings of Lake Austin without suggesting a place to eat, and rightly so. Spend a morning at Ski Shores or Mozart’s Coffee enjoying their wonderful breakfast and brunch menus. Both are local favorites and offer beautiful views of the water. Should you be in the mood to try something new, Hula Hut is a jaw-dropping option for rare fusion cuisine. Polynesian flavors meld with traditional Tex-Mex cuisine to create dishes that locals have come to love. 

When it is time to shop, head down to The Domain, a hub for shopping and entertainment with a selection of classic luxury brands. Whether you need new leather goods, jewelry, clothing, or shoes, they can be found at iconic names like Gucci, Louis Vuitton, David Yurman, Hublot, and others. 

Things to Do

The fun comes in many forms around Lake Austin. Once you’ve had your fill of fine dining and shopping, soak up some sun and breeze at one of the popular outdoor sites that exist around the lake. The Mount Bonnell Lookout over the Pennybacker Bridge is a great way to get outdoors and can be an excursion for ease if you’re looking to be leisurely. Mary Quinlan Park is a great spot for fishing, boating, camping, picnicking, or just enjoying the beautiful blue water views. Thanks to its size and popularity, it’s easy to find a spot to enjoy quiet or socialize to meet new people.

Should you be interested in honing in on your watersports capabilities, the Texas Rowing Center offers rentals and classes for kayaks, wake surfing, canoes, and stand-up paddleboards. For families, package deals and lessons for young paddlers can be reserved. If you’re into party vibes, charter a boat to Austin’s Party Cove for a party with friends on the water. Esteemed and fanciful, the Austin Country Club is a noteworthy site on Lake Austin. Famous for hosting the Dell Match Play golf tournament, this high-luxury country club is for members only.
