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!

Not a bad beach day! Went with my wife, mother in law, and niece. $9 total for entry to the beach for the entire vehicle regardless of how many people inside the car. We arrived at about 11:30 am on a sunny 95° Sunday. There were probably 100 or so people there already, but parking was plentiful and more than enough benches, space, etc. They have a bathroom, showers, and lifeguard station. I noticed a snack shack, too, but it didn't look like it was open. Overall, the beach was clean, and the water was decent. A little chilly still, but we swam regardless for a few hours! Water was a little cloudy in the beginning, but after the first 20 feet or so, the water became almost clear enough to see everything. I was surprised how clean that section of Lake ontario Water was honestly. No violence, no unnecessary loudness besides a few families with loud kids but that's a given anywhere on a beach day. We will return again this year. Much better than Durand and Charlotte.

Absolutely love the times we get to go to Hamlin. There’s just so much you can do. The views are amazing. There’s tons of bike paths and walking paths. The pavilions are great for cooking holding large family get-togethers. The parking lot on the other hand is pretty rough and beat up although the road itself is pretty nice and smooth. The sites are very comfortable. Although I wish they had more sites that were larger. The newer dump station area is great. Could use a little bit more work so it’s less rough going in but overall very nice.

Hamlin Beach State Park is a popular destination in Monroe County, New York, known for its sandy beaches, clear waters, and a variety of recreational activities. The park has a rich history, including its use as a Civilian Conservation Corps camp and a prisoner of war camp during World War II. Today, visitors can enjoy camping, hiking, fishing, swimming, and other outdoor activities in the park's scenic surroundings. Also Hamlin Beach was originally known as Northwest Beach Park and became a state park in 1938? 😊

Nice breeze, as usual. Beautiful on another hot summer day. Some people still don,'t know how to pick up after themselves.

The park is very nice. Plenty of space. Featuring Lake Ontario waterfront. But the $9 (per car) admission price is hard to justify.

Great park with loads of beach space. Crowded or not you'll be able to stretch out and enjoy! Bathrooms and other amenities are really nice. only 9$ a car for the day

The best beach park to chill out in and around Rochester. The park has plenty of barbecue stations and seating arrangements. Some of them are under the trees incase you need a place away from sunlight. There are multiple piers in the park. They are short and rocky but fun to walk on. One of the best sunset spots for sure. The sun sets on the water. So if you can reach the end of a pier by the time, it’s pure magic. Don’t go on a cloudy day, it’s not worth it. You can also swim in the beach!

♿ accessible throughout with paved walkways. Ontario Lake beachfront park with 5 sections & campground. 2021 entrance fee $9 per car. ONLY section 3 allows swimming with lifeguards normally, but no guards on duty for yesterday's 92° & entire park was full & swimming!! Outdoor shower in section 3 for washing the beach sand off! Leashed dogs allowed. Grills, tables, restrooms, playgrounds throughout whole park. Great place for walking & bicycling!! Busiest on wknds. Landscaping of gardens around buildings has not been maintained & looks horrible now.
