Lake Pflugerville

Another beach-like spot in Austin. It's free and has tiny pebble but can be played with like sand. The water is pleasant enough to swim in! This charming little beach is a favorite among children. It's free to park and enter. The lake's pleasantly warm waters are ideal for swimming, and the pebble-strewn shore is perfect for constructing pea gravel castles. The park tends to attract many visitors, so arriving early to secure a prime spot is advisable. Consider bringing floats or tubes for water relaxation, and there's also the option to rent boats on-site. Always check the website prior to your visit, as the beach might be closed. I also highly recommend wearing water shoes to this one, since the gravely "sand" might hurt sensitive feet. It's also a good idea to bring some sort of shade structure like a canopy/tent since there isn't much shade. There are 2 play areas here as well!
