Had some family photos taken here, the location was recommended by the photographer. We meet at the parking area near the white lady castle area.

I got out of the water and, from a distance, he exposed his genitals to me. He is tall, with a strong build and dark skin. I recommend that visitors stay alert and that the beach administration increase security.

It's got a long sandbar, making it an ideal place for boats to anchor and allow boaters to swim, and a great place for kids! We often see people on rafts or paddle boards! There is not a parking lot, street parking only, but honestly, still less walking than parking at Charlotte Ontario Beach park!

On a slightly overcast morning, this was a very calming and peaceful start to the day. A nice walk…read moreout on the pier to see the light beacon as I begin to make my way across Northern New York from Rochester. The Irondequoit Bay Outlet Bridge was closed so there was no opportunity to cross the harbor on foot or by vehicle without driving all the way around the harbor. So that's a downer. The pier is smooth and easy to walk. I think it could be wheelchair accessible. Enjoy the view of the lake and the light beacon! [Review 1527 of 2024 - 443 in New York - 22550 overall]

I would probably still tell you that today, but I'd be ever so slightly more conflicted about it, because this is about as close as it gets to a real beach. Only if a lake is truly great can you stare across it and not even see the other side. There's even adorable little waves, if you look hard enough. The park itself is a nice place to get outside in the summer, too. It can be a bit grimy, but it's hard to hate on sand and water and sunshine. The sunsets can be spectacular by the pier, the boardwalk is nice for a walk, and there's some places to play and even some public grills if I remember right. As far as the vendors go, I'm not that big on Bill Gray's, but Abbot's ice cream is a winner. Ice cream + sunshine + sand + sea (I mean lake) = good.

My Aunt & Uncle recommended this playground in Webster Park while we were in town visiting…read more I saw a sign saying that this playground was dedicated to a little boy named Jack who passed away in 2016 at the age of 3. (So sad) Jack's Place is such an awesome playground! The recommended age range is 5-12. There are so many neat aspects of it including some unique spinning "rides", numerous slides, swings, lots of places to climb and a rubberized digging zone. There are a few benches around for the adults. Our kiddos had so much fun here! Highly recommend!

There's another Jack's Place playground in Webster Park at the corner of Holt and Lake Rd. The…read moreplayground is really nice. It looks new and is in a great location near the lake on warm days. Plenty of field and a couple of picnic tables. I don't recommend eating there based on our experience yesterday. We were invaded by what looked like fruit flies times 1,000. It literally rained bugs on us at the picnic table within one minute of sitting down so we booked it out of there and ate down the street another playground before returning. There are a few different activities for the kids, some the same as the location in Penfield such as the sand pit (here it's rubber), the big standup spinner, and the signature dinosaurs. Plenty to keep the kids happy. My kids loved it here!

I went to the park today to look for "sea" glass. Admission is $9 per car unless you're military,…read morethen it's free. I parked in area 3 and began my hunt. There was one family there with kids playing in the sand and water. I did find a little bit of glass. Stopped on my way out to use the restroom and it was pretty disgusting. I guess no one had cleaned it yet from the weekend. I'm talking poop on toilet seats, in the sinks, etc. kind of disgusting. I then drove to area 5 and began my search here. There were 2 families here playing in the sand and water. Again, I found a little bit of glass and a few interesting pieces of rocks. If you're wanting to look for sea glass, make sure you look at the tidal charts first. Looking at low tide is optimal. Also, make sure you take a trash bag to haul your trash out with you. There are no trash cans, and there will likely be some litter on the beach.

Walked to more of a "beach area" since only large rocks were at this location. Weeds sprung up in concrete areas. Some playgrounds were the ones from 40+ years ago with literally a swing and a metal slide. Told the kids to make a mental note for when they call the new fun playgrounds boring. Sand was corse and rocky. Personally didn't enjoy this place.
