White sand, hot sun, lakefront breeze, Sugar Beach is pretty much perfect for my needs: catching rays.
It's close proximity means I'm a summer regular here.
The beach itself is pretty clean, has some available shade and a bunch of deck chairs scattered throughout. Keep in mind that the deck chairs are chained to the umbrellas at two-apiece.
A towel is pretty much necessary if you're planning to sunbathe since the sand is quite coarse and the deck chairs likely have accumulated the sweat and skin conditions of many.
Bring your brown-bagged brews (think of the kids!) for a perfect afternoon.
