We don’t have beaches IN Austin, but we sure can take a road trip to one! The great thing about beaches near Austin is that they’re usually great to go for a swim almost any time of the year because it stays pretty warm in the Lone Star State. Skip the pool and head to a REAL body of water this summer.
