Only 17 miles from downtown Austin and a mere 26 minutes from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, it’s easy to make a beeline to Bee Cave. From Austin, take the scenic Southwest Parkway route through the Barton Creek Habitat Preserve, then turn north on Highway 71 for a few more miles to the heart of Bee Cave. Almost any route you take to Bee Cave concludes with a breathtaking drive through a rolling panorama of limestone outcroppings and native Texas oaks and cacti. With every mile that passes, you’ll feel the tension easing, relaxation taking over, and the excitement of the buzz starting to build.
