Learn more about renting in San Marcos, TX

For more than 10,000 years, San Marcos inhabitants have lived a blessed life on the banks of the San Marcos River. Modern-day San Marcos residents (aka San Martians) enjoy 80% of their free time swimming, snorkeling, tubing, fishing, kayaking and drinking beer on the San Marcos River.

If you’re a newcomer to the splendor of San Marcos, then the river is where you’ll want to begin your adventure. Grab a six pack from the excellent craft beer selection at the Yellow Store, then hit the Lions Club for tube rentals to float the San Marcos River. Check out the annual Float Fest and River Rice Festival for a grand day of riverside festivities and live music. And after dark, check out Cheatham Street Warehouse, Triple Crown or Tantra Coffeehouse for a Texas music scene that rivals the nearby city of Austin.

San Marcos is growing exponentially, with many Austin refugees fleeing the big city for the small town, music-loving culture that San Marcos is known for. The local bars and dance halls aren’t the only place to find live music in San Marcos. A stroll through campus, neighborhood parks, or along the riverside trails will reveal musicians at every turn. You’ll see ukulele pickers in the trees, a lone harmonica wailing down the San Marcos River, and a gathering of musicians at the tube chute, joining forces with guitars, mandolin, trumpet, drums, harp and didgeridoo. Feel free to pick up your instrument and join in, or simply sit back and enjoy the show. Join the river-happy San Martian crowd while you still can!
