This beach is very small, which is my biggest issue. I am 5'11" and by the time I reach the end of the swimming zone the water has barely reached my belly button. That being said, the water depth is great for kids and it being so small means you are not likely to lose track of them.
The lifeguard is only on duty between 12pm-4pm, though the beach is open outside of those hours.
I have come here on hot days and there have been 3 people here. I have come here on hot days and there have been 20 people here. It's really hit or miss.
The difficulty with the size is that if someone is really annoying you, you can't get away from them!
The state beach laws are very very poorly regulated here (have they forgotten about us?). College kids drinking, women dragging their dogs through the middle of the swim area... seriously? Not to mention the water is usually covered in something green and full of seaweed.
There is also a boat launch right next to the beach, so there are constantly boats around. Though they do follow the "no wake" signs very well. But, because this is part of a larger lake, you will see lots of speed boats - something to keep in mind!
