Brewster Beach — Attraction in Wolfeboro

Please change or think about an accepting for coast gaurd approved life jackets with supervision within arms...

Several picnic tables are available, and the beach is open sunrise to sunset year-round. The parking lot is plowed and provides public access to the beach during the winter months for ice fishing, skiing, skating, and maneuvering your Bob House out on the lake. These are early April images, long before the swimming lanes and platforms...

The rules are designed to say we allow young children BUT we don’t allow life jackets. So it politely excludes young children without saying so directly....
