Simmons Island Beach

Beach

👍👍 My family and I have lived this beach forever. Born and raised in kenosha, I could never imagine leaving the lake front area. What peace the view brings after a long hard day, or what a scene to just go for a nice calm walk. My kids ask to go to the beach even in the winter lol. Although I will say...

Mauthe Lake Beach

Beach

👍👍 Very beautiful place. I just wish people could keep their dogs out of the no pets zone. I’ve seen many scared children and dogs barking at each other. Kind of takes away from the serenity. But it’s not the parks fault.

Williams Bay Beach

Beach

👍 We started our day quite late, but still were able to enjoy our 1hr walk along the lake. It was a humid day, but at least the sun was behind clouds, which was nice. If you start your walk from the bay and head east along the water you can make a lot of miles!!! Parkings are convenient across the bay...

South Shore Beach

Beach

👍 Not much parking but good views!

4.60 (122 reviews) (~90.78 km from centre)

Bradford Beach

Beach

👍 Quite crowded when the weather is nice, but generally a little more open at the far north end. Ample sand when not covered in ice. Sometimes really cool ice formations here in the winter. Unfortunately no dogs allowed.

4.50 (148 reviews) (~33.76 km from centre)

Fox Brook Beach

Beach

👍👍 Here’s a beautiful beach where you can relax on a sunny day in the summer. It’s often crowded on weekends, so give it a try during the week if you can find some time off. Look out, though, it’s not free – it’ll cost you five dollars per car to get in, but it’s well worth it. You’ll be glad you did!

4.50 (146 reviews) (~8.53 km from centre)

RecPlex Wruck Beach Pavilion

👍👍 Beautiful lake and fantastic life guards and management. They made the open water swim course very fun and above all incredibly safe.

4.50 (142 reviews) (~59.06 km from centre)

North Beach Oasis

Beach

Freshwater beach known for its family-friendly atmosphere with a playground & picnic areas.

4.50 (36 reviews) (~47.26 km from centre)

Lake Mary Beach

Beach

👍👍 My first time here. I had the most wonderful time and the setting were perfect. Will be back!!

4.40 (59 reviews) (~53.67 km from centre)

Bender Beach

Beach

👍👍 It's after Labor Day, so hurry before the water gets too cold!! It's a much smaller beach than City Beach on Lac LaBelle and there is only on-street parking at Bender. City may be better than Bender for younger children because there are public restrooms and a large parking lot. Besides finding par...

Indian Trail Beach

Beach

😠 The lifeguard was oblivious for only residents in their community allowed to use a small beach area that consisted of not even a range of 50 people. He deliberately ignored the fact of travelers coming to enjoy the beautiful beach and all of its surroundings by the statement,” You are not allowed in...

4.20 (179 reviews) (~92.46 km from centre)

Isherwood beach

Beach

🫤 We call it Asbestos Beach. There are signs warning that asbestos is in the area that Google seemed to omit from our last upload. Just north of the ever-beautiful Zion Nuclear Plant on reclaimed former industrial property.

4.10 (44 reviews) (~69.8 km from centre)

BeachWatch LLC - Olson Beach

Beach

😠 Beach is right next to highway. You can see and hear traffic constantly. Water was very dirty and the the lake bottom felt and smelled like sludge. The sand part of the beach was maintained just fine.
