We all have our favorite ways to spend a leisurely summer day – from relaxing in the A/C to heading to the nearest water park. Sometimes, however, we just want an old-fashioned beach day, where we can lounge on the sand, cool off in the water, and eat the most popular foods of summer. When you’re yearning for that beach day, make your way to Mount Gretna Lake and Beach in Pennsylvania, a picture-perfect summertime destination.

Sink your feet into the soft sand of the 300-foot beach at Mount Gretna Lake and Beach, in the enchanting town of Mount Gretna, a popular summer destination.

Sure, a day at the beach is all about relaxation, but you might also want to add some thrills. Dive into the lake from the classic diving board or from the high diving board. The kids also have their own dock.
