The scenery is stunning, but there is limited public access to the beach due to the majority of it being blocked off by the Members Only association.

This beach is really relaxed and perfect for people-watching. It's all pebbles, but they're large enough to be comfortable for a lake. Even though there are signs saying no dogs allowed, people still bring them.

This beach is a great spot, especially if you're shopping at the West Shore Store or camping at the William Kent Campground nearby. It's peaceful in the mornings and gets lively at night with music from the hotel restaurant.
