But yeah, Hippie Hollow is not what you'd expect. Sure, there are a few hot bodies there, but most of them are not something you'd really want to see. They do have a website online... don't go there at work, though

Eeyore's is okay if you are looking for a carnival atmosphere.

It was just really neat at Barton Springs that the great majority of adult women (probably 80%, no exaggeration) went topless. It was great. Again, no staring but a lot of admiring, and there wasn't any sort of overt rivalry between any of the women in terms of being really curvaceous or not so. . . . I've heard that along the Riviera & elsewhere, that's kind of the same basic ambience. . .although of course the Barton pool was not solely for jet-setters. People from all walks of life. Lots of UT & Southwest Texas students. High school girls and their moms, too.

I guess it couldn't last.

Before the shores of Lake Travis were heavily developed, there were places such as Teck Cemetery where people could park, then go down there on the rocks & take off all their clothes (or as much of their clothing as they wanted to remove) and swim or sunbathe. No jam boxes but maybe someone with a mandolin or flute, no trash thrown on the ground, just very nice & laid-back. People were respectful of one another.

That was kind of the beginning of my socialist leanings: Here we had this gigantic area of idyllic waterfront property that never would have existed except for the taxpayers (all of us) paying to have the river dammed. Back then everyone and anyone could enjoy it. But rich people bought the nicer places, those of us who had actually paid to create the area started getting run off by the sheriff, and it all changed for the worse.

Of course the entire Austin area has been overrun by people who couldn't make it anywhere else (fleeing the Rust Belt or wherever their drunken asses came from). One guy I knew from the Midwest could not understand why I objected to him and his stupid-assed friends taking a boat up close enough into some of the coves that they endangered swimmers on floats, all in order to get close-ups of naked women. "Don't you understand why most of them are flipping you off?" I asked him. He just didn't get it. Never could.
