I discovered this beautiful beach by mistake. I was looking for the beach a friend was married on… I assumed it was this place and we set out for the drive. It was the place. It was more beautiful than I could ever imagine. This park has two sides. One, which faces Lake Erie and the other side takes you into the Metro Park complete with hiking trails. This beach is really my favorite Lake Erie Beach. There is no litter. They have a yummy concession stand and an adorable park for children to play with built in activities, swings, slides and training course for future gymnasts and those who love those muscle building competitions. My weakness is hanging patio lights. This is the best beach for photo shoots. There is plenty of parking. It’s not Florida; but, with imagination you can’t tell the difference!
