Local residents and tourists alike have long been aware of the beauty of Million Dollar Beach on Lake George. Nicknamed for its pricey 1951 opening costs—the equivalent of eleven million dollars today—views from Lake George Beach are simply priceless.
Million Dollar Beach offers gorgeous surroundings, plenty of room for tanning, clean shores, and a family-friendly environment—it’s the perfect weekend or weekday getaway for you and your loved ones, and the picturesque mountain scenery of the southern basin provides a scenic and relaxing vista while soaking up the rays. In a roundup of the top riverfront and lakefront beaches in the U.S., Fodor’s cites its 51 acres, 1,700 feet of golden sand and large swimming area as attributes that helped earn Million Dollar Beach its spot at #11.
Once you’ve spent enough time on the beach, you won’t be bored as there’s plenty to do in the area. The village of Lake George is an easy walk from Million Dollar Beach, and has plenty of incredible restaurants, shops, and unique activities for fun-lovers of all ages. It’s also conveniently located just minutes from the Lake George Outlets, so you can shop ’til you drop after your day by the lake.
We’re glad to see Million Dollar Beach recognized for the absolute beauty it is! If you’re itching for a vacation or a daytrip destination, check out Lake George this summer and, of course, spend some time lounging on its crown jewel, Million Dollar Beach.
