West Lake Beach

Best Party Place
Bret Brookshire

No chlorine, no filters, just sweet running water, ready for your kids to splash in with or without swim shoes: West Lake Beach is an award-winning family-owned secret. A modest entry fee grants access to this unspoiled party place, which also offers volleyball courts, grills, picnic tables, and a horseshoe pit. Everyone from toddler to grandpa can have fun. For a truly divine time, the whole beach is rentable. (Mermaids make great babysitters, by the way.)
