This small Texas city is one of the sunniest lakeside getaways in America

DALLAS (KDAF) — As Americans finalize their summer vacation plans, a new report is shining a light on the top lakeside destinations for maximum sunshine. And one small Texas town is basking in the glow.

According to vacation rental platform Lake.com, Marble Falls, Texas, ranks among the top 10 sunniest lakeside destinations in the U.S., alongside locations like Big Bear Lake, California, and Lakeland, Florida.

Using 2023 data from the National Solar Radiation Database, researchers analyzed Direct Normal Irradiance (DNI), or the average amount of direct sunlight hitting a surface. Marble Falls boasts an impressive 242.54 watts per square meter, making it a top choice for those chasing sunshine and lake views. With only one city per lake selected in the study, Marble Falls stood out not only for its sunny skies but also for its proximity and hotel availability.

Texas joins Florida as the only southern states represented in the sunny top 10.
