There is plenty of sand, and the water is shallow for a very long way out and very clear. The water was chilly, but not too chilly for kids. There are plenty of concessions, clean bathrooms and shower facilities and a large picnic area. There are also kayak, canoe, paddleboat, sailboat and bike rentals.

Great place to hang out. Check out all the boats coming in, take in a swim, rent a kayak or just sit in the sand. The kids will love the beach too!

We have been going to this Park for 11 yrs. and the water is always shallow; great for little kids but not for anyone else. The beach is clean and after you get past the first couple of feet the beach has a sandy bottom. It would be nice if the yachts did not park so close to the beach... More

Chris K's August review is excellent, so I'll not waste space with the same details. I'll just say that the beach is very nice, and it's a great place to spend an hour or most of a day. The natural small pools on the beach make great spots for the little ones to play.

spent the afternoon there playing in the sand--seems like kids just know what to do with a bucket, shovel and sand. The water was low so there were three little lslands of sand and they were packed with kids building. Here the water was warm to spend some time in it. It was shallow for a long way out.

This beach is located at the heart of the Peninsula State Park. The sand is great, hardly any rocks to speak of, and lots of space to lay out. Lots of great sunlight to be had, and plenty of room. However, get down to the beach earlier than later to pick out your spot, and on holiday weekends, the beach... More

This is a beautiful beach. White sand, clean clear water. I loved it and I live in Florida! They also have grills so bring your own charcoal, lighter and steaks and cookout!

Great place to camp. Try to get one of the sites nearer the water.

We stayed at Penninsula State Park for 9 days over the 4th of July. We went to the beach at least 5 times. We were able to bike there from Tennison Bay campground. The kids LOVED it (the adults thought it was pretty cool too). The water is shallow for a long way out, making a lot of space for... More
