Barefoot in the warm sand, we chased sandpipers as the foam from baby breakers tickled our toes. Ahhh, summers spent on the coast. Most Austinites transplanted here from a seaside strata agree that one of the few things missing in our near-perfect burg is a beach. Volente Beach goes a long way to re-create a seashore experience right on Lake Travis. And this summer they added two 40-foot waterslides to the mix. It's endorsement enough to know that these water rides were constructed by the folks at Schlitterbahn. Wow. Now our burg is even nearer-perfect! We'll know the world's gone topsy-turvy when we hear people refer to their trips out to Volente as "Going down the shore."
