Port Washington North Beach Park — Attraction in Port Washington

The park is amazing, with beautiful views, well maintained areas and a great playground - we love coming here for how beautiful it is. The beach, however, is very difficult to call a “beach”. It’s been a few years since we’ve been here so if you’re planning on lugging your little kiddos here with an idea of how it used to be - pivot that plan! We used to love this beach - but I returned with my kids this week to find logs blocking the beach entrance and no beach to be seen. It’s basically a walkway.

With the Lake high this summer (2019), there is basically no beach, but normally it's a great place to walk and swim.
