Clifton Beach — Attraction in Lakewood

The greatest beach in Cleveland. Yes it is private, yes the tennis courts are nice, yes the clubhouse should be torn down and rebuilt, yes it seems like the water is getting lower and lower every year, yes Danny ollied the four stair at 13 years old, yes you can order food from the Clifton club to be delivered via golf cart down to your picnic...

It’s beyond gorgeous. In my experience it is, by far, my favorite beach in the Cleveland area. Extremely beautiful and welcoming. I’m not a member, but my brother’s wife’s family is… The events that were thrown there for their baby shower, wedding, and rehearsal dinner were amazing. I have nothing bad to say about...

There is a reason why this isn't open to the public...that's because PEOPLE are CARELESS and RUIN properties with their destructive behaviors so by all means keep this beautiful place...
