Croton Point Park Beach
Croton Point has a genuine county-managed seasonal beach, distinct from Croton Gorge Park and its dam. The county's current pools-and-beaches page says the 2026 season is closed. Year-round park access does not authorize off-season swimming.
A real beach with a closed 2026 season
The county supports swimming at its designated Croton Point beach, but currently displays a closed-for-2026-season notice. Its published schedule was weekends and holidays, not daily swimming throughout summer. Check the next actual operating announcement before planning a swim.
Admission and parking are separate
The county does not require Westchester residency for Croton Point beach. Published adult beach admission is $5 with a Park Pass or $10 without; parking has a separate charge during applicable periods. Do not borrow the residency requirements of a different county beach or treat park entry as paid beach admission.
Keep year-round park use separate
The park remains a land-based recreation destination from 8 a.m. to dusk. Restroom buildings normally operate mid-April through October, with portable facilities off season or for events. Leashed-dog permission in the general park does not extend to the beach, where pets are prohibited.
