The Top Secret Beach Near Cleveland That Will Make Your Summer Complete

You don't have to be on the equator to know what intense summer heat feels like. In Northeast Ohio, locals are treated to blisteringly hot days accompanied by humidity so thick you could cut it with a knife, and those days are so unforgiving that even a condensation-dusted glass of lemonade won't bring relief. Only a dip in the pool or a day on the beach can chase away the heat on such days. Fortunately, Cleveland features many lovely Lake Erie beaches, as well as smaller swimming holes in local lakes and ponds. Unfortunately, many of those places are public access and wildly popular... so you need to uncover a hidden paradise to truly soak up some sun in style.

Huron is an endlessly dreamy area to escape to, but Sawmill Creek Resort gives you a cozy paradise where you can extend your visit.

Sawmill Creek Resort opened in 1974 and is a sort of rustic tribute to Ohio's culture and wildlife.

The hotel's gorgeous grounds are nestled up against Sheldon Marsh State Nature Preserve, a 500-acre coastal wetland that makes your stay even more earthy.

But its most incredible feature is undoubtedly its secret stretch of Lake Erie beach.

This secluded paradise allows you an unrivaled opportunity to enjoy the splendor of our own Great Lake without fighting the crowds.

You may even decide to rent a kayak or stand-up paddleboard to enjoy these private waters.

If you'd prefer a more controlled environment, check out the indoor or outdoor pool.

And, as a general rule, save a bit of time to "swing by" the lovely Lake Erie Shores Golf Course at Sawmill Creek.

You'll feel right at home at Sawmill Creek Resort and its rustic charms will make you feel in tune with America's North Coast.

A trip to the resort's Mariner's Dockside Restaurant is a must and will make your taste buds believe you've actually found paradise.

Are you ready to experience enchanting beauty, a cozy milieu, and a private beach that's all your own?

Summer on Lake Erie's coast has never looked so beautiful.

You'll find everything you need at 400 Sawmill Creek Drive in Huron.

There is so much splendor surrounding Lake Erie that its beauty is sought by locals and visitors alike. Either way, there's no place more enchanting than this one private beach near Cleveland.
