Please note, on June 30, 2024, a fire burned down the amphitheater/band stage used for summer concerts. A temporary stage is being erected, with plans in the works for a more permanent structure.

We have been coming to this beach with Camp Lenox for 5 years and have never experienced such terrible behavior from the lifeguards. They were constantly yelling at our campers, which was completely unnecessary and unprofessional. The situation escalated when the manager herself started yelling at our staff, even using foul language. It seemed like they just wanted to kick us off the beach to make their job easier. This is absolutely unacceptable and they completely ruined the kids' day. We are extremely disappointed and hope this behavior is addressed immediately. The manager should get some proper training for her position as well especially if this is her future 8)

Not very pleasant for a 10am dip with 44 campers. The life guards were having a little power trip (other couples not with us have even mentioned it and were laughing at how upset they were acting). The manager herself needs some proper training especially if this is her future 8) I have some videos and pics of the situation and gladly share.

I am fairly local and have utilized this beach for decades. I took my two grandkids to the beach on the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend and it was closed?!? No sign, no warning, no staff to ask why or for how long; just a big padlock and chain. We have always enjoyed just walking/playing on the beach or lying in the sun if there wasn't a lifeguard. It is over an hour drive to pick up my grandkids and get there, VERY difficult to find parking, then a long hot walk carrying all the beach stuff.... I am very disappointed that "our" beautiful beach has come to this. Why would the beach be closed on the Saturday of the kick-off to summer weekend?....
