This state park has a medium sized sand beach, with medium swimming area. The camping sites around the lake are beautiful and spacious, and we recommend staying the night if you can get one. http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/24483 http://newyorkstateparks.reserveamerica.com/camping/moffitt-beach-campground/r/campgroundDetails.do?contractCode=NY&parkId=673
This is a fairly unusual campground in that it has one beach for day use and one for campers. The campers beach was technically closed when we were here but the ranger said people were down there, and there were a ton of people swimming. Having this beach closed was actually was nicer, as there […]
This location is near the town marina, and there is a convenience store and mini golf nearby. This is a gorgeous state park beach with expansive views, a large sand beach, and clear blue water. It is one of those places where you feel like you’re on the ocean, and it is very relaxing. There […]
This location is at the end of Burr Road off of Route 30, and there is a parking lot with a Port-A-Potty. This beach was really a surprise, and it is absolutely gorgeous. The water is very clear water, and the views are lovely. We aren’t sure how crowded it gets here, but it was […]
This is a town-run recreation area, with a small sand beach and a medium size swim area. They also have a diving board, which is fairly unusual. This seems to be a popular spot for families. From all information, this beach is open to non-residents, but there was a guy following me in a hostile […]
This is a pretty beach and park near downtown Speculator. It is very small but laid out well, and a nice resource for the town. http://villageofspeculator.org/content http://www.nyroute30.com/towns/speculator.php
We don’t know if this is a private park or a town park, as it was closed when we were there, but they do have a day use fee and you don’t have to stay there to use the beach. They have cabin rentals and RV parking, as well as a restaurant and ice cream […]
We actually messed up in documenting this location for you guys, because it was so nice when we arrived that we decided to take the day and enjoy it. The next day, of course, it was raining, so our pictures really don’t do it justice. This was a great little campsite beach, and it is […]
We once again got caught in the rain while shooting here, but this park has a small swimming area, and a medium sized beach. The picnic area is very pretty, and has nice views across the lake. There are also boat, canoe, and kayak rentals available. http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/24458.html http://newyorkstateparks.reserveamerica.com/camping/caroga-lake-campground/r/campgroundDetails.do?contractCode=NY&parkId=627
This park has a REALLY large swimming area, and very clean. This is one of the better state park beaches, and would be a nice place to spend the day. This is a spacious park with a lot of picnic areas, concessions, and multiple lifeguards. It was starting to rain when we were there, but we […]
