In theory, this "beach" should be an oasis from the urban hustle and bustle of Cleaved land. First off, there is no hustle nor bustle. But, EW park (pronounced eewww...) is an interesting place to get robbed. Sorry, i meant get a tan.
The eastern half of the park is definitely the best part. The pier is fun to walk out on. People are sometimes fishing there for some reason. I guess the sheephead is to die for! There is a marina nearby. And the concession stand offers culinary delights on par with a bus station. You do get a stupendous view of downtown. The beach itself is small, and recently outlawed dogs. LIke dog poop is the worst thing you can step in here. My dog used to like playing in the surf. But i guess some people across the lake in Canada complained about the barking. So don't take your dog.
Now the shady western half of Edgewater. The sun does not shine here. It is thickly shrouded by trees. A playground that is almost always eerily empty adds to the desolate feel. The picnic shelters are dilapidated and creepy. Most definitely take a dog with you. For protection.
Oh, and there's no drinking there either(ha!). I guess drug dealers don't like it when you order drunk.
