Beebe Lake Beach

The park has a popular unguarded beach with nearby restrooms and shady areas where you can spread your blanket. Visitors like that it is clean and the water is clear. The sand covers both the shore of the beach and the roped in areas of the water. The county has enacted a 5mph speed limit for boats in the area of the beach, keeping the wake down. (I always loved the wake waves when I was a kid, but if you have smaller children, you might appreciate this. A few safety things to keep in mind:

1. It is unguarded
2. It may be geared more toward bigger kids and adults as it gets deep in areas
3. There is a dock in the beach area that kids enjoy jumping off

Bringing the Family Dog to Beebe Lake Regional Park
