Chaska Beach plages

Tucked away from the usual spots. There's no parking close to the beach, and we visited at night, so there were lots of bugs. Nonetheless, it's very beautiful.

This beach is actually quite nice and sandy. There is a bit of debris on the beach, but it doesn't bother me much—it's just part of nature. The beach is fairly wide but not very long, so it can get a bit crowded at times. Parking costs $6. The bathrooms are clean and there's an outdoor shower for rinsing off sand. There's also a playground for young children and a nearby restaurant for drinks and snacks. The water is clear and you can walk out quite a distance while it still only reaches your hips (I'm 5'4"). The beach is all sand, so no need for water shoes. There's a nice walking path close to the water if you want to take a stroll. I would recommend this place for a pleasant day at the beach, whether you're alone or with family. Note that pets are not allowed on the beach.
