Sanders Beach

Lakefront blocks just east of downtown.

About Sanders Beach

Sanders Beach runs along the shoreline east of downtown, a quiet pocket of older cottages and newer lake homes with beach access at the end of the block.

  • Lake access
  • Walk to downtown
  • Older cottages

Our take

Lake access without a lakefront price tag in some cases, though the range here is wide. The details of each property's beach rights matter.
