A shoreline-focused county park
Travis County describes more than nine miles of shoreline around Pace Bend. That scale offers context for the park, but it does not establish that every bank or cove has the same access conditions.[1]

Pace Bend Park is a Lake Travis reference point in western Travis County, with a long shoreline and separate arrangements for day use and camping. Plan around current lake access and park notices rather than an old photograph of water levels.
The local field guide
78669: Pace Bend’s Lake Travis shoreline
Pace Bend Park is a Lake Travis reference point in western Travis County, with a long shoreline and separate arrangements for day use and camping. Plan around current lake access and park notices rather than an old photograph of water levels.
3 linked sources · CheckedBoat ramps have individual status
The county publishes separate notices for named boat ramps. A statement that one ramp is open cannot be applied to all ramps, particularly when lake levels or repairs change.[1]
Camping is a separate reservation
The park links county camping information and reservation procedures. Choosing a day-use destination and securing an overnight site are different steps, with availability determined by the operator.[1][2]
Plan a little better
Before you go
- Check capacity and lake alerts
- Read Pace Bend’s own notices before departure. Holiday capacity controls, submerged hazards and temporary closures can change the outing even when the park remains generally open.[1]
A few things to know
Does an open park notice mean every ramp is usable?
No. Check the named boat ramp’s status on the county page; its access depends on current conditions and notices.[1]
Does a ZIP code describe an exact neighborhood boundary?
No. Postal ZIP codes organize mail delivery. Census ZIP Code Tabulation Areas are generalized statistical geographies, and neither should replace a neighborhood boundary or a specific park entrance.[3]

Only businesses holding a Texas mixed-beverage permit file these returns, so beer-and-wine-only bars, BYOB restaurants, coffee shops and every unlicensed kitchen in 78669 are absent from this count entirely. “Top” here means alcohol receipts reported to the state, not quality or popularity. A venue that closed keeps appearing until it stops filing, and August 2026 is the most recent month the Comptroller has published — not the current one.

Economy and county context for 78669
This site publishes no economic figures at ZIP level — no ZIP-level income, employment or business counts are held here, and none are estimated from county numbers. What follows describes Travis County, the county ZIP 78669 sits in (100% of its 311 requests carry that county). A single county contains ZIP codes with very different economies, so treat these figures as the surrounding context, not as a description of 78669.

Across Travis County, Austin 311 has recorded 581,018 service requests spanning 61 ZIP codes, closing half of the last 12 months' requests within 25 hours. That corpus is City of Austin 311 only, so it counts requests made to Austin at addresses in the county — a meaningful figure for Travis, a partial one anywhere Austin is not the service provider.

Common questions about 78669
Where is 78669 located?
ZIP code 78669 is in Austin, Texas, in Travis County. On this site it is grouped under Suburbs & city fringe. ZIP codes are postal delivery geographies, not city or council-district boundaries, so a ZIP can cross both.
Is 78669 safe?
This site publishes no crime data and no safety score for any Austin ZIP code, so it cannot answer that question and does not try to. What it can tell you is what residents reported and what the city acted on: 71 311 service requests were filed in 78669 in the most recent 12 months of data (through September 16, 2026), 0 code enforcement cases have been opened there in total, and 0 of those are still open. Report counts are not a safety rating and should not be read as one: a ZIP that files more 311 requests may simply have residents who report more, and a code complaint is an allegation the city has not necessarily upheld. Source: City of Austin open data, datasets xwdj-i9he and 6wtj-zbtb.
How many 311 requests are open in 78669?
4 311 service requests in ZIP 78669 were still open or in progress as of September 16, 2026 — 4 open and 0 in progress. Residents filed 71 requests there in the most recent 12 months of data and 6 in the most recent 30 days. Source: City of Austin 311 service requests, dataset xwdj-i9he.
How fast does Austin close 311 requests in 78669?
Half of the 311 requests opened in ZIP 78669 in the last 12 months and since closed were closed within 24 hours, and nine in ten within 22 days. That is 1.5 hours faster than the citywide median of 25 hours. Both figures are computed the same way — median hours from opened to closed, over requests opened in the same 12-month window — which is what makes comparing them meaningful. A median describes the middle case, not the worst one. Source: City of Austin 311, dataset xwdj-i9he.
How many code enforcement cases are there in 78669?
No code enforcement cases are recorded for ZIP 78669 in the City of Austin Code Cases dataset (6wtj-zbtb). That is what the published data holds; it is not a statement that none exist.
How many restaurants in 78669 have been inspected?
Austin Public Health has scored 185 inspections at 28 distinct facilities in ZIP 78669, averaging 93.9/100 across those visits. That average weighs every inspection equally, so a restaurant inspected more often counts more toward it. Austin Public Health publishes in irregular batches with weeks of lag, so the newest score on file is not necessarily from this week. Source: City of Austin Open Data Portal, dataset ecmv-9xxi.
How do restaurants in 78669 score on health inspections?
Taking each restaurant in ZIP 78669 at its most recent scored visit, the median score is 93 out of 100 across 28 facilities. 18 of them currently sit at 90 or above and 0 at their last visit came in below 80 — 0% of the ZIP's inspected facilities. The highest most-recent scores on file here include 5 Soul Wine Co (100), West Cypress Hills Elementary School (100), LW - Lake Travis Middle School (100). This counts one score per restaurant, not one per visit, so a frequently-inspected kitchen does not pull the figure on its own. A score grades a single inspection on a single day against a checklist — it is not a rating of the food or of the restaurant, and a low score is routinely corrected on the next visit. Newest inspection on file in this ZIP: August 20, 2026. Source: Austin Public Health, dataset ecmv-9xxi.
What are the top bars in 78669?
5 businesses holding a Texas mixed-beverage permit reported sales in ZIP 78669 for August 2026, totalling $286,901 in alcohol receipts — #36 by those sales of the 47 Austin-area ZIP codes that reported that month. The highest-grossing that month were ANGELS ICEHOUSE ($137,840), THE LIGHTHOUSE RESTAURANT & LOUNGE ($64,789), POODIES HILLTOP ROADHOUSE ($62,172). "Top" here means alcohol sales reported to the Texas Comptroller, not quality, popularity or crowd — and only businesses with a mixed-beverage permit file at all, so beer-and-wine-only bars, BYOB restaurants and coffee shops are absent entirely. Source: Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, Mixed Beverage Gross Receipts, dataset naix-2893.
What is the economy like around 78669?
No economic data is published on this site at ZIP level, so the honest answer is the county one: 78669 sits in Travis County, where unemployment was 3.9% in July 1, 2026 with a labor force of 877,417. A single county contains ZIP codes with very different economies, so treat this as context rather than a description of 78669.

Where these numbers come from
- 311 service requests: City of Austin Open Data Portal, dataset xwdj-i9he. Newest request on this page: September 16, 2026. A 311 request records that someone reported something, not that the condition was verified.
- Code enforcement cases: City of Austin Open Data Portal, dataset 6wtj-zbtb. A case is an allegation that was investigated, not a finding.
- Restaurant inspections: Austin Public Health, dataset ecmv-9xxi. Published in irregular batches with weeks of lag. Newest scored inspection in this ZIP: August 20, 2026. A score grades one visit on one day against a checklist; it is not a rating of a restaurant.
- Mixed-beverage receipts: Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, dataset naix-2893. Figures here are for August 2026, the most recent published month. Covers only businesses holding a mixed-beverage permit, and only their alcohol sales.
- ZIP boundary: U.S. Census Bureau 2020 ZIP Code Tabulation Areas, generalized for display (121.7 sq mi of land in 78669). Display geometry only: no figure on this page is assigned to a ZIP by this polygon — the ZIP on every record comes from the publishing agency.
- County economy: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and U.S. Census Bureau, retrieved from FRED, Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. County-level only — this site holds no ZIP-level economic figures and estimates none.
- Twelve-month and 30-day windows are computed when the aggregates are rebuilt each night, not at the moment you load the page. This site publishes no crime data and no safety score for any ZIP, and no council-district figures — ZIP codes do not nest inside council districts.
