You’re relaxing on a sandy beach as the gentle, warm breeze blows off the clear, turquoise waters of the Caribbean. Your kids are off in the distance building a sand castle — and playing together peacefully. The friendly staff member from the all-inclusive resort approaches and asks if you need a drink refill and fresh towel. Your phone is off and your work is done. All you need to do is sit back and let the sound of the ocean waves wash over you. As your body sinks into the soft sand, you relax and drift away …
And then your bedroom door swings open and a swarm of children wake you up by jumping on the bed. It was all just a dream.
If this isn’t a dream and you are going to the beach for spring break … enjoy! But if things didn’t work out for you to get out of the Lake Travis area for a spring break vacation, no worries. There is plenty to do in and around these parts of town.
Here are some family friendly activities for spring break in the Lake Travis area. Some will require a short drive, others are right here in your backyard. Either way, get out there and enjoy spring break in Texas. And we hope your children let you sleep in!
