Clean beach with lighthouse in background

In September, I traveled with my family to Niagara Falls and on the recommendation of a friend, we went to Crystal Beach and what a pleasant surprise this place gave us.

Crystal Beach is 26 minutes away from Niagara Falls. Near the entrance of the beach is the parking lot that has a rate of 4 dollars an hour or $15 a day: there is a restriction of 2000 people. To enter, you pay a $5 pass the day that goes from 9 AM to 6:00 PM. During the summer when the season ends, admission is free. All these restrictions are to protect a spectacular place.

On the way to the beach, you find some cute neighborhoods; so many cute local shops and amazing restaurants. In addition to connecting with a family-friendly community, which makes you feel in a festive and relaxing environment, at Crystal Beach, you can enjoy the clear water of Lake Erie. It is an amazing place to relax, swim, indulge in water-related activities, and enjoy the waterfront nightlife consisting of local restaurants & bars.

It really was a very nice experience to visit a clean beach as a family with very nice people and places around to visit.
