Hula Hut lives up to its name. You'll enjoy the many decks, tiki torches, bamboo walls, grass-thatched bars and thousands of colored lights overlooking Lake Austin. Music from traditional Hawaiian to surf rock floats out over the water. And if there happens to be a wait for dinner just head out to the Palapa bar for one of their specialty drinks and watch as the sun sets over the shores of the Lake Austin.

HH is known for its nude beaches. I've never been, however I've been asked where it's located which is why it made the guidebook. Can't make any other suggestions except do your research. Knowledge is power.

Newer HEB has plenty to offer, including a bar where your guest can hang out while you shop. :) This HEB does offer free grocery bags in case you forget to bring your own. This HEB does get busy, but much easier to get in & out of than the HEB at 620 & 2222. If you chose to go to this HEB check out all the fine dining opening up int his area. Lots to choose from in case you don't want to cook

Pros: Randall's is super convenient!!! Forgot something? Need paper plates, bug spray, coffee... go here. Quick convenient. Cons: Pretty expensive and selection is not that great (except for Beer & Wine selection. That's is pretty good). If you are shopping for entire weekend and planning a big spread you may want to try one of the HEB's close by. :)
