BYOB
What party would be complete without some drinks? If you’re planning on drinking during your time at Lake Austin and Party Cove, remember that most boat rentals won’t provide alcohol but will allow you to bring your own. This includes ATX Party Boats. You’re not obligated to drink, but this is something that those planning to drink should be aware of. This should also go without saying but here we are — please remember to drink responsibly. You should especially not be drinking if you are at the helm of a boat yourself.
THE 360 BRIDGE
Austin’s 360 Bridge (aka Pennybacker Bridge) is an iconic tourist attraction that anyone who visits the city needs to see. Luckily, this is also the spot where Lake Austin boat party rentals pick up customers who are ready to have fun on Lake Austin. Right beside this bridge is 360 Cove, a great place to hang out and enjoy the view while drinking and relaxing with friends. So you’re in the perfect spot to enjoy the best of both worlds should you wish.
Although these three points provide a good idea of what to know about Lake Austin and Party Cove before visiting, no words can do the experience justice.
