It’s hard to beat the hustle and bustle of this town in peak summer. With the shops and restaurants spilling over with patrons and plenty of entertainment off or on the water, Clear Lake is a social town that’s brimming with excitement in the summer months. Prefer a quieter spot? Bring a bike and visit one of the more secluded beaches, set up at a picnic at a quieter lake, hike the many trails or help yourself to one of the area’s public docks right on the water. Once the sun fades, take in the many shops and restaurants at your fingertips—or set up by one of the many communal fire pits for a sing-songy end to the night.
