Cedar Point Beach — Attraction in Sandusky

Great little beach that almost NO one knows about! It is free! All you have to pay for is parking (Cedar Point). Even the people at the parking booths dont know about this place! The beach closes at midnight also. There is a Fridays restaurant and The Sand Bar back there too! Many volleyball courts along the beach too. Bathrooms at the Sand Bar for public use as well.

Easily accessible from the main and waterpark parking lots, and there are two entrances to the park at by Windseeker (on the beach) and Magnum (near Hotel Breakers). Perfect way to enjoy the Lake Erie scenery, and to avoid/detour the crowd that's inside the park.

Best of all, after a long day at the park, if you parked in the main lot, you can take the Magnum gate out, and walk along the beach to get to your car; which makes it great to see life at Hotel Breakers and on the beach, and potentially see the sunset to mark off a great day at...
