Iconic watermelon-painted water tower — a bold roadside attraction and local landmark offering strong graphic shapes and color contrast. Easy roadside access with free parking nearby; no entry fee. Best at golden hour or blue hour for saturated colors; summer festival (Watermelon Thump, July) adds atmosphere but brings crowds. Accessible from the street; quick stop en route from Austin or San Antonio.
