Guide

Good to know

Good for families and fishing
The beach offers shallow entry suitable for children and is known as a decent spot for catching fish.
Private access only
This beach requires residency in Lake Monticello or an invitation from a resident, as gated barriers block public entry.
Wear protective footwear
The sand contains silica that stains and doesn't wash out easily, so wear shoes or sandals you don't.
Expect small, crowded conditions
The sand area is relatively small with limited space, making it feel confined on busy days.
