Bennett Beach

Bennett Beach is a public beach along Lake Erie featuring a sandy shoreline and gradually deepening water that works well for swimmers at all skill levels. Marked swimming areas provide defined zones for visitors to enjoy safely.

The beach became an important recreation spot in the early 1900s as Angola on the Lake transformed into a popular summer destination. This role as a local leisure destination has continued through the decades.

Residents treat this beach as a gathering place where summer weekends bring families and neighbors together for informal socializing and relaxation.

The beach has restroom facilities, parking near the entrance, and lifeguards watching the designated swim zones. Plan to arrive early during warm weather to secure parking.

The shoreline draws birdwatchers who come to spot migratory species passing through or resting at different times of the year. Native plants in the area also change appearance with the seasons.
