San Antonio Guide 

# Enjoy a Fun and Relaxing Lake Day at Son's Island, just North of San Antonio.

A secret island near San Antonio with thatched-roof cabanas, blue water, and zero crowds. Just 45 minutes from San Antonio down I-10, and you'll swear you're in another country — kayaking, paddle boarding, rope swings, fishing, swimming, sliding, barbecuing, hammocking, and doing absolutely nothing. All in a private cabana reserved just for your group.

Wait — a Real Island?

## 3.5 Private Acres on Lake Placid

Yes — Son's Island is an actual island near New Braunfels, Texas. To get there, you actually cross a 100-foot wooden bridge, park on the island and then step onto your own reserved cabana with a private dock, kayaks, paddle boards, a BBQ grill, hammocks, the frog slide, and all-day shade.

35 miles east of downtown San Antonio on I-10 — about 45 minutes. From Stone Oak or Alamo Heights, plan on 40–50.

Capacity-controlled, family-friendly, and quietly hosting Texas friends and families since 2014.
