Hamlin Beach

We visited Hamlin Beach State Park just for the beach on Lake Ontario, and it did not disappoint! The park is very clean and well-organized with plenty of parking, multiple playgrounds, and lots of picnic tables. Lake Ontario itself is stunning, and the beach is easy to enjoy with all the amenities provided. One of the access points had lifeguard stands, first aid, locker rooms, bathrooms, and even outdoor showers to rinse off sand before heading back to the car. The park is open from dawn to dusk, with a small entrance fee during peak hours (9–5 pm). A beautiful and family-friendly spot worth visiting!

First time at Hamlin Beach State Park we were charged $9 for entry on a monday which was pretty outrageous for what is here and the ongoing construction. There’s a lot of beach areas, a campground, recreational areas, and a small nature trail with an observation deck which is what I liked the most. For a state park it is ok, there’s alot better spots around though. If you like beaches and picnics, this is a good spot - for a price

My family camped at this park for 5 nights in August. Hamlin Beach State park is the most beautiful, we'll kept parks I've ever camped at. We stayed in loop F, site 256. The site was spacious, we had a really good amount of privacy, we were steps away from the bathroom and a water source. There are several playgrounds located near by. All the sites were pretty spacious, some had a bit less room than others and most had some privacy in the form of vegetation between sites. The campground was very well maintained, clean and quiet - except for Saturday when all the kids were up before 7am lol. There is no firewood sold at the park but there are several folks that sell out of their homes in Hamlin and the Dollar General next to Tops in Hamlin has some. We found more than enough to meet our needs. The beach is amazing! The water was very cold, below 60 degrees, but we were able to wade in - too cold to swim! The beach is sandy and spacious, and you can walk the other beaches quite a ways in both directions. The campground is somewhat remote, there are some local restaurants nearby by they are expensive, we paid about $45 for breakfast for 3 and $60 for a lunch of cheeseburgers for 3. Tops is kinda costly but we were able to get everything we needed. The closest Walmart is about 30 minutes. We took a side trip to Niagara Falls, which was only 1.5 hours and the ride was lovely. We really enjoyed our time at Hamlin Beach State Park and are already making plans to return next year!

Beautiful Lake Ontario Park and beaches! I think it was $9/car to get in. Showers were barely functioning and need some work . . .

First time here and it is a beautiful park. There are bathrooms & showers at each loop. There is a nice huge beach area on Lake Ontario with picnic areas. There is a laundromat but it was closed indefinitely ☹️ There is plenty of space with all campsites, some are way too tight for a 40ft fifth wheel and too many low branches. You can look at each site with the Reserve America site and that helps so much. This park is great for couples & families. Come here and stay, you just might want to come back!
