Kelleys Island State Park Public Beach

Kelleys Island State Park Public Beach is a sandy shoreline along Lake Erie with soft sand and shallow waters for swimming. The beach provides ample space for water activities and sunbathing throughout the summer season.

The island became a center for limestone quarrying in the late 1800s during a period of industrial expansion. This mining heritage shaped the landscape and development of the entire island.

The beach area connects to North Shore Loop Trail, allowing visitors to explore local geological formations including the adjacent Glacial Grooves.

The beach has restrooms, changing facilities, and parking available for visitors. In summer you can rent kayaks nearby and paddle out into the bay from the adjacent campground area.

Just next to the beach sits a nature preserve where a natural sandbar comes and goes with the seasons. This shifting barrier separates a shallow pond from the main lake depending on water conditions.
