Goldston's Beach

Updated our review. We tried to go back on our last day to let the kids use the arcade one more time and use the tickets they saved from the first trip. They wanted to charge us $10 a head or $70 to just pack to go into the arcade. Our kids were so upset because we told them weren't paying that to just go into the arcade where we had just spent 300 the day before on 4 kids playing games which I'm sur ewe would have spent again. We won't be going back. Enjoyed the arcade with our kids. Would love a paid window to pay. Done games were 8 credits and our credits didn't go very far.

5 stars for the view of the sunset over the lake. If nothing else, it's worth it for that! I'd high recommend visiting on a week day or during the off season if you don't want to be bombarded with other visitors. Even so, standing on the pier and just enjoying the sunset made the trip worth it!

GOLDSTON'S BEACH. This used to be my favorite place to go swim years ago when during the week it was free to get in and you only paid on the weekends. But no way am I paying 10/ person just to park there. I had 4 other people with me. No way am I paying $50 to park there. I was looking forward to taking my kids there so they can experience the lake like I did when I was a teenager. Sadly we kept it moving and went down the street to the water park and I paid less there. Unless I see people commenting that the price dropped, I won't be back.

Be careful! Especially if you are black, sitting on the pier, minding your own business, getting ready to buy some ice cream not even speaking to anyone. Because someone will literally call 911, and when the officer shows up even he will be confused as to why he needed to respond. And when you decide to leave without spending money in such an awful place, everyone will stare at you all the way out. I’ve never experienced anything like it! It’s 2023…. DO BETTER!!

Stayed the weekend in one of the new tiny cottages. The place was great! The style and decor is adorable! It had everything we needed, although we forgot towels! The bed was super comfortable. Bathroom was nice although it could use a wall hook. A/C worked great which was good because it was HOT! The kitchen had everything you might need for cooking and cleaning. There was plenty of storage, full size fridge, and great porch with table and chairs. We'd certainly stay again.

Great experience and the staff lady that came by was awesome. She is a valuable employee to that company. Everything went well and the stay was nice. I got to admit the change at first I hated but with the upgrade done now it's so much better and cleaner. I have to call it what it is.Rooms: 5/5

We have been coming for many years and always have a great time. With spending a week each visit the children have lots to do. We have stayed in the same place for 5 years and before that different places. Thank you, Mr. Corbitt for not moving it! Nearby activities: Arcade,Putt Putt, shopping,etc. Elizabeth Town is close by for additional shopping and eateries. Safety: We have never felt unsafe at the Lake. Walkability: Everything is in walking distance. Swimming , putt putt golf, and arcade. Also eateries, shopping,etc. Food & drinks: A good assortment of concessions available. Dairy Queen is great!

I used to love coming here back in the day before covid Don't get me wrong I understand people are trying to make the best of it from that horrible year. But not letting anyone go in after 5 o'clock to get in the water is ridiculous you are running people away. And prices I don't have one up but to get in the water I rather go home all the way to the beach if I'm gonna pay $10 for each person that's in my car. You used to be a very family oriented place now I feel like it's more about money. This is just my opinion I apologize if anybody gets offended. But I have very fond memories of this place.

What a great spot! We parked the boat at the dock and enjoyed some ice cream at Dairy Queen, listened to some live music, and found the beach area to be about the clearest water and sand of the whole lake.Service: 5/5

Best quality and taste. Remote location but you can enjoy your ice cream with scenic view from the storeService: 4/5
