There are two beaches for affordable family fun. 

Hamlin Beach State Park, on Lake Ontario's Seaway Trail in Monroe County, is nice for biking, hiking a nature trail, picnics or laying out on a sandy beach.

Plus 264 tent and trailer campsites make this a great getaway for families! The vehicle entrance fee is $7

Continue west on Route 18 into Niagara County and to a blast from the past at Olcott Beach Carousel Park. 

This historical amusement area from long ago is now the perfect Getaway for vintage kiddie rides including their 1928 style Herchell-Spillman two-row carousel!  All rides, only 25 cents!

It is open Wednesday-Sundays through Labor Day.
