Walnut Beach Cafe

Very beautiful park. The beach is clean with the exception of some very interesting pieces of driftwood that was intensionally left for aesthetics. They have a lot of fun playground equipment for the kiddies, picnic tables and a pavilion. They have a short but nice hiking trail surounded by bamboo and a wildlife preserve within the bluffs. It all depends on you but I'd say this beach has a lot of potential to help build lasting memories. I would recommend checking it out even if you only have a couple minutes to spare.

I'd give it a 5...BUT water quality advisory is often up. It's sad that so many of Lake Erie's beachfront parks have poor water quality. That said, the bathrooms are clean, the garbage is removed fairly often and the views are great. There are no lifeguards on duty so you are swimming at your own risk.

The lake is beautiful. The beach area is nice. It has a playground, volleyball nets and tire swings. I think it has a small concession stand, but we went early so it was not open. We are from the Lake Michigan area, so we had to get used to the beach being rocky, but once you got out into the water it was fine. We had our kids 10 and 12 and they loved it. My picture does not show the large beach area, but it is good sized.
