Fontana Beach — Attraction in Fontana-on-Geneva Lake

We really liked that beach... but unfortunately by closing this place for non residents local authorities demonstrated lack of intelligence ... I would've understood if it was made to protect local residents from Covid 19... but wait a second! Its not the case.. cuz if you are non resident you can still enter the beach if you buy $100 pass per person! If this is not double standards I don't know what is... Basically by $100 local government gives me permission to go a head and spread the virus to locals... I really don't understand what you people tried to achieve here... If you didn't create this common sense free rule my family, my friends and I would be coming to this beach at least 5-6 times this year.. eating in local restaurants, fueling gas, drinking beer, even shopping in Woodman's grocery store ( we all like it BTW) on the way back to Chicago we would've spent much more money than this $100 beach pass and WI state and local businesses would only win from that.

So after our snack and another 1 1/2 hours back, we were greeted with a $30 fine for exceeding our parking time. There was no opportunity to simply pay the difference. What an unwelcoming experience. So we will not be back. We'll spend our time and money in Lake Geneva where they seem to...

My family and I really love this beach, it's beautiful, there's a lot of shade from the trees, the water is clean and always quite warm. There's a big, beautiful mountain of sand, which the kids really like. The only reason I'm giving it four stars is because, firstly, the parking is quite expensive, considering the paid entrance fee, which also costs a lot. Plus, parking is very hard to find, especially on weekends. We drive all the way from Chicago, and it's often a shame that we waste a lot of time looking for parking. But overall, we like everything there, if they made the prices even lower, it...
