We visited on our way home from Sandusky in the middle of winter. The lake was freezing and I think it was about 8° outside. I wanted to look for driftwood and a few cool rocks for an art project. The beach was fantastic. Lovely views. While we were there we got a photo of next to the cool sign and we got to see a beautiful bald eagle.

If you didn't know you were at Lake Erie you'd swear you were at the ocean! Extremely family friendly, sand and lake bottom are both comfortable to walk on. The only thing that they need to improve on are the porta-johns. They were almost full clear up to the toilet seat! They had a nice pavilion and plenty of grills (which were oddly short). The parking has gone up to $6, but it's a small price to pay for a great day with the family! Although I live 1.5 hours away it's worth the drive and I plan to visit again before my son starts back to school.

I loved this quiet public beach. There are lots of informative signs, some cute places for photo shoots, tables and grills, on site rentals and merchandise, a playground and volleyball court, along with outdoor showers and toilets. Yes, all …
