Definitely one of the better-known beaches in the Austin area, Emma Long Park was once known as City Park and has long been a popular spot for Austin locals to gather and enjoy recreational and relaxing activities at weekends or special occasions.

Emma Long Park Beach sits snugly on the banks of Lake Austin and offers some breathtaking views of the local surroundings, as well as being equipped with some useful amenities and facilities like large parking lots and a long pier. Lots of boat traffic flows along this area, so it can be highly enjoyable to simply sit or stroll along the sand and watch the world go by. Emma Long Park Beach Map
