Leddy Beach
A beach park on Lake Champlain that fits well for swimming, shoreline walks, and lakeside recreation. It’s one of the best outdoor spots on the list for a true beach day.
Leddy Beach is a small lakeside beach area in Burlington’s Leddy Park, on the shore of Lake Champlain. It’s a relaxed spot for swimming, sunbathing, and enjoying broad water views, with the park’s open green space and waterfront setting making it a pleasant low-key stop rather than a big resort-style beach. Visitors come here for an easy local outing that combines a beach day with a walk or picnic in the park.
