Nestled in the gorgeous Travis County, the Milton Reimers Ranch Park is a great option for beach getaways near Austin, Texas. Just a short drive from Austin, the park is the largest acquisition of the county and is home to many recreational activities for visitors of all ages. To get to the beach, visitors have to trek about a mile to the river as there is no parking by the beach itself.

While the waters are calm, it can get quite deep in some areas, so families visiting with younger children are encouraged to bring floaties for safety. Additionally, guests should expect a rocky beach, so water shoes are highly recommended. In addition to swimming and fishing, guests can enjoy barbecuing at the beach while the park as a whole offers a number of activities like hiking, mountain biking, rock climbing, and birding.
