Site Key

A day at the beach. What’s more fun? Turns out, we’ve got a place where every day is a day at the beach. It’s Bluebell Beach. And it’s where you’ll find sun, sand, water, pavilions, a Splash Pad for the kids, 14 shade kites (courtesy of the folks at the Ruth Mott Foundation) and the Flint River Bike Path. It’s everything you need for your day at the beach.

Pavilions (available for rental). For more information please click here.
