Fontana Beach

We always have a fantastic time at this beach. It's clean and not overly crowded, and the availability of restrooms and changing rooms is a definite bonus. However, keep in mind that there is a charge for both the parking lot and the beach itself. Additionally, the staff checks coolers, so it's important not to bring any glass items.
