A Lake Austin institution, Ski Shores Cafe, is reopening this week. Closed for the last few months for a remodel by new owners, this Austin, Texas landmark serves great waterfront fare in a casual atmosphere. For 50 years, generations have arrived by boat or car to sample burgers, catfish, fries and more.
Originally an outpost on largely undeveloped Lake Austin, Ski Shores now has several newer upscale subdivisions around it along with the older properties developed over the past few decades. Older waterfront properties for sale in the Ski Shores area start at just over $1 million and go up to $12 million for a 7 acre estate. The newer subdivision of Greenshores features non-waterfront homes built mostly in the last 5 years and are typically priced between $600,000 and $1 million. Greenshores residents have access to a waterfront park with boat launch and day dock.
Ski Shores is off 2222, just west of 360 Capital of Texas Highway, and is adjacent to the waterfront 1100 acre Emma Long Park. Emma Long park has a swimming beach, sand volleyball, camping, hiking, boat ramps and picnic areas. Residents near Ski Shores & Greenshores enjoy a bounty of outdoor activities and natural Austin terrain.
Whether by boat, bicycle, on foot or by car, visit Ski Shores Cafe. It is a true Austin icon on the lazy shores of Lake Austin.
