With rainy days slowly but surely becoming a distant memory of spring, perfect summer weather is finally starting to arrive! As much as I would've loved to tell you all about so many great beaches out along the southern shores of Lake Ontario, flooding in these areas is still quite an issue. Leaving some of our favorite beaches completely underwater, now is the perfect time to step outside of your region to find out what other waterfront destinations are waiting for you in the Empire State. Taking you down into the Hudson Valley, this extraordinary resort features a swimming spot that's out of this world.
Located in the adventurous town of New Paltz, the Mohonk Mountain House is one of the most enchanting destinations in the Empire State.
A Victorian castle from the mid-1800s, the property is now an out-of-this-world resort.
With over 200 rooms, the resort is a National Historic Landmark right in the Hudson Valley.
A popular place to visit during the summer, the castle even has a grand deck filled with rocking chairs for you to sit back and enjoy the amazing views.
But with over 80 miles of hiking trails and endless adventures right at your finger tips, it's easy to work up a sweat around this time of year.
A magical place to cool off, those staying overnight at the Mohonk Mountain House have the privilege of being able to use this unique beach.
The resort overlooks Lake Mohonk, a glacial lake that has some of the most beautiful water you'll see in this region.
With beautiful wooden structures decorating the over 40,000 acres that surround the resort, it's impossible to find any other beach like this in New York with such mesmerizing views.
A true getaway that everyone should experience, the beach at Mohonk Mountain House belongs on your ultimate bucket list.
Staying here may cost you a big and pretty penny, but this incredible resort is one that everyone should aim to cross off of their bucket list at one point or another. Only those of our residents who are staying overnight at the Mohonk Mountain House will have the beach available to them, making it quite the exclusive adventure.
