Son’s Island: Lakeside Cabanas in the Texas Hill Country!

Posted on August 5, 2020Author The Perennial TravelerLeave a comment

Son’s Island (located about an hour from our Bandera resort, in Sequin) is a wonderful place to spend a day in the Texas Hill Country! Rent a lakeside cabana for the day, go kayaking and paddle boarding, and enjoy the beauty of this special area. Each island cabana has a private floating dock, and some cabanas are located directly on the water. You can also swim, play beach volleyball, enjoy some BBQ and more! Although Son’s Island is located outdoors, for the safety of their guests and employees they are currently limiting capacity to 50%, and limiting groups to no more than 8 people per cabana. With the abundant space and sunshine, it’s easy to stay distanced from other guests.

Check their website for more information and fabulous photos of this beautiful area!

Looking for ways to cool off in the Texas Hill Country? Here are a few ideas:

The Medina River is a wonderful place for tubing and kayaking. Contact the Medina River Company in Bandera or Bandera City Park (also a great place for picnicking and swimming) for more information.
The Red Cove Cafe and Marina on Medina Lake in Mico, Texas doesn’t allow swimming but has excellent burgers; Joe’s Place Marina and Resort offers swimming, fishing and picnicking.
Prefer a water park? The Flying L Ranch Resort (right in Bandera) has a small but fun water park, as well as golf, horseback riding and other activities.
The Boerne City Lake Park offers a fishing pier, 9-hole frisbee golf, a butterfly garden, picnicking and more.
Or visit the Kerrville Olympic Pool, which charges only $1 for admission and has a kids’ pool and high dive boards.
The Louise Hayes Park in Kerrville also offers a cute splash area.

Or spend the afternoon at our very own resort pool… stay cool and happy travels!
