12:00noon- 4:00 pm
Sandy Beach at Crystal Lake is located on Rte 140 (Sandy Beach Road) in Ellington. The daily fee for non-Ellington residents is $5 for adults (age 18 and up), $3 for kids 6-17 yrs, and free for kids under 5. They have a nice groomed beach, shallow and deep swimming areas (the deep area has a dock), a swingset and small picnic area, bathrooms, and lifeguards. Rules and regulations which are posted at the entrance to the beach. (For instance, kids can use float vests, but they must be US Coast Guard approved, and must be used in the shallow side only, under direct adult supervision. They generally don't allow personal boogie boards, but do have kickboards available to borrow. Bring beach toys! :)
Look for Shelley Wurst, she will be set up in the sand near the water near the barrier between the shallow side and the deep side, then we can move up the beach to the shade later if we like.
