The wild history of Hippie Hollow, Austin's famous nude beachPosted: Fri, 31 Jul 2026 11:03 AM - 3,392 Readers By: Katey Psencik Hippie Hollow Park, located at 7000 Comanche Trail along Lake Travis near Austin, is Texas’s only legally recognized clothing-optional public park. Visitors must be 18 or older, remain fully clothed in the parking lot, and may undress only after entering the park grounds. The 109-acre site features a steep, rocky shoreline with designated swimming areas, restrooms, drinking water, and trails; there are no lifeguards, so swimming is at one’s own risk. Entry fees apply (typically $8 for adults, less for seniors), and the park operates daily with last admission about 30 minutes before closing.
