Summer is upon us, Dallas. From waterparks, to ice cream shops, pool parties, and more: it’s the time to beat the heat in the best ways possible. Add to your list of summertime destinations in the DFW area The Lakefront at Little Elm, the largest beach destination in North Texas just a short drive from Dallas.
Nestled among the banks of Lake Lewisville, The Lakefront at Little Elm is a family-friendly waterside destination that features beach access, marinas, trails, restaurants, and more.
Little Elm Beach is a scenic and sandy, man-made public swim beach complete with 10 sand volleyball courts, picnic areas, scenic trails, and a playground. Available amenities in the area include Margarita To-Go, which is as it sounds: ideal. The waters are marked with roped-off swim zones and do not allow boat traffic, creating a safe space for kids.
Pets, glass containers, outside grills, and fishing are not allowed.
On location is DFW Surf, a business that rents out paddleboards, kayaks, wake surfboards, and foil boards – a fast-growing watersport where boards are fixed with a hydrofoil, elevating them above the water’s surface. The company also offers weekly paddleboard yoga classes.
More adventure can be found at Hydrous Wake, a full-scale cable and aqua park for aspiring wakeboarders and kneeboarders. The venue’s aqua park is designed for all-ages.
For more fun, the area is home to the The Cove, the only indoor year-round waterpark in North Texas. Here, visitors can enjoy a FlowRider surf simulator, lazy river, as well as slides, splash zones, and cabanas.
For eating purposes, the area features the Lakefront Grill, where patrons can enjoy Americana snacks with options for pizza, frito pie, nachos, and more. Beer, cocktails, and soft-drinks are also available here.
The area also features the Cottonwood Creek Marina, home to the Nautical Boat Club membership-based country club.
Little Elm Beach is public access. Parking is available on-site priced at $10. The beach is located at 704 West Eldorado Parkway in Little Elm, less than an hour driving from Dallas.
