Having recently moved from New York, I was eager to explore local spots and heard about North Beach Park from someone. I decided to visit and was absolutely delighted by what I found. The beach is awesome, with plenty of space and fewer crowds, ensuring a peaceful experience. The water is perfect for swimming, and the overall atmosphere is very relaxing. Additionally, the playground for kids is fantastic, with plenty of equipment and activities to keep children entertained. There's ample parking, including spaces for those with disabilities, making it very accessible. The park is eco-friendly and remarkably quiet, adding to its appeal. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there and highly recommend North Beach Park to anyone looking for a great place to unwind. You won't regret it!

This is certainly a destination when you come to Burlington. You can pay a non resident fee of $8 if you drive or you can rent a bike and enter for free. There is a kayak and paddle board company that sets up in the northern part of the park. The park offers trailer style camping as well. The concession staff needs some more help and a better system to work with; they are hard working but could use some more help- many customers seemed agitated on a busy Saturday. The beach is life guarded which is a plus...the rules are a bit more lax than we are used to at our local beach. There is a playground and some barbecues available for use as well. Enjoy your stay if you choose to go. If my review was helpful please consider selecting the “like” button below. Thanks.

Made the mistake of going to Sand Bar State Park first and what a waste of time that was. We were looking for a clean, chill beach and didn't think North Beach would be it with it being so close to the city. We were wrong! It was so clean! Plenty of beach for everyone to have their own space! Only had to pay to park and then find your spot to chill and enjoy. The water is clean! It is shallow for quite a distance! We swam and then we discovered the bar! Yes, there is a small outside restaurant and tiki bar next to the main building. Order drinks from the tiki bar and BRING THEM TO YOUR BEACH BLANKET TO ENJOY!!!! I SIPPED ON TWO PINA COLADAS WHILE WADING IN THE LAKE!!! It was my favorite day of my entire vacation in the Burlington, Vermont area. Will return!

This beach is really nice. Has a nice view of Burlington and the sunset. The food was very good at the shack, although the people working there did take a while with food to the point of forgetting people's orders. The view cannot be beat and I want to stress that because unless you are a college kid, it's best to find another beach on lake Champlain. Every student from UVM comes here on weekends leading to a packed beach filled with alcohol. If you like that sorta thing stop by. Getting back to town by bus is a little stressful at night especially on weekends. The only other bad thing was that there was not many waves. But in every other way the water was perfect with clear shallow water with little to no algae.

Fabulous beach. Huge parking ($8 now) and lots of bike access. Grassy shaded areas to park your towel as well as sunny sand. Clean bathrooms. There's a little restaurant as well as window ordering for creemees and hamburgers/chicken fingers/fries. Beach is fairly deep, shallow, and very long so even when it's more crowded there's lots of space. Life guards on duty and they enforce an area free of boats, jet skis, and larger floats. Feel so lucky to be able to load up the car for a long beach day or hop on bike for a little swim n drinks.

I traveled for 3 hours to get here and it was 100% worth it. Parking is only $6. The beach is very spacious and long. The lake itself is gorgeous, huge. There's plenty of space to swim and play in the water. There's a small place to eat by the beach, they have pizza, burgers, ice cream and much more. Just bring sandals for the sand because it burns. After a whole day in the beach, everyone should go to Church St marketplace in Burlington.
