Experience one of Indiana Beach's original guest attractions at Ideal Beach's Sandy Swimming Beach. Located along the shores of Lake Shafer, this lakeside swimming area offers guests the opportunity to relax, swim, build sandcastles, and enjoy a timeless summer tradition.

Naturally fed by fresh lake and spring water, the beach provides a unique experience that has been part of Indiana Beach for generations. Whether you're spending the day in the sand, cooling off in the water, or simply enjoying the lakefront atmosphere, Ideal Beach's Sandy Swimming Beach invites guests to create new memories while celebrating a classic part of Indiana Beach history.

Please note that guests should rinse off in the bathhouse showers before entering the Lazy River or water slides to help maintain water quality in those attractions.
