Ebenezer Beach — Local services in Pittsboro

My family and I love to come here during the summer and swim.

When we were there a yellow boat came along selling snow cones. Run to it quickly because a long line will form fast!

Bring $7 cash with you for entrance fees, we had to scrounge around in car seat...

This is my first lake beach here, so I can only compare with European lake and river beaches. It is Okay. The water is muddy and you cannot really see the bottom, but I'm guessing it's the norm given the clay soils. The beach is sandy, although in a couple spots under water you can feel the underlying concrete. There is a grassy area above the beach (where the picnic tables are) if you prefer grass over the sand. Albeit there is little shadow, it is overall a nice place to...
