San Marcos, Texas

Founded in 1851, San Marcos has flourished for over 160 years.  Reaching a population of 50,000 in the 2012 census, Texas Monthly rated San Marcos the fastest growing city in the country.  As the historic down town has continued to grow it has not lost its small town charm and hospitality. 

Offering 350 stores and 1,000,000 square foot of space, the San Marcos Outlets are a primo destination for the ultimate shopper.

Tubing, tubing, and more tubing, this popular activity never fails to leave a smile on your face.  Kick up your feet and relax for miles of cool water and warm weather.

If you are a lover of patio-sitting and good eating, these restaurants are right up your alley.  Salt Grass is located directly on the San Marcos River and gives you the opportunity to enjoy your meal and cool beverage while overlooking the beauty of the river.  Zelicks is a historic Texas ice house, located off of the downtown square, that welcomes good company and a cool breeze.  Technically the food trucks are not a "restaurant" but the food is to die for.  The Hitch is located off of the downtown square and offers every type of food from authentic Mexican food, to Greek gyros, and not to mention the cupcakes.  Yes, I said cupcakes.

The Root Cellar café and Tantra Coffee House may allude highly different atmospheres but they are each uniquely necessary to visit.  The Root Cellar offers a Tuscan romance that would be perfect for a dinner date or afternoon lunch.  If you are a wine lover, this is the spot for you! If coffee and beer is more your style, you may prefer Tantra.  This homely coffee house offers breakfast in the morning and outdoor music venues in the evenings.
