Crystal Beach

This is a small yet popular local beach. We went on a warm summer night and watched boats drive into dusk while my son was fishing. There were a few family parties and lots of activity. It has a decent playground as well. We’ve been here before and done swimming and had ice cream from the ice cream truck. Every time I come I wonder why we don’t come more!

Nice public beach!

Pros: Great sandy area , roped off swim area with gentle slope into deeper water, play structure, volleyball, restroom facilities, concession stand (after noon in summer) plenty of shade options.

Cons: a little messy for a weekday morning, playground is removed from lake area so its not super feasible to have littles doing both the playground and swimming at the same time and maintain supervision. I could see this park getting very busy on weekends.

Last minute thought after work was to find a beach. This place was intimate, peaceful and full of nature. Absolutely gorgeous and peaceful 🏖🌲🌳🌿🌊

Nice sized beach area and park to accommodate many people without feeling over crowded. Plenty of space to launch your paddle board on right side of swimming area. Easy to paddle out and around the island.

Pretty good beach and not overly stalked by officals. Lots of grills and picnik tables. You can rent a few water toys too. Food trucks and ice cream trucks make their rounds too.
