Beach at Ramsey Creek Park: Lake Norman, NC

July 1, 2022 by Lyric Spencer Leave a Comment

The beach at Ramsey Creek Park was perfect for a day on Lake Norman with small children because of location and safety. Lake Norman is a man-made lake as well as the beach.

Things to do 

Swimming 

This beach is not a swimming beach. It’s mostly a glorified kiddie pool, but that’s perfect for small kids. The deepest water came up to my 3 year old’s chest while standing.

Playground

One of the first things you see on your way to the beach is a nice sized playground with slides for young children and preschoolers. 

 

Kiddie Zipline

Next to the playground is a kiddie zipline that is less than 5 feet from the ground. Kids took turns zipping across the 20 foot line. It’s not big enough for older kids to enjoy. 

 

Hammock

If you are heading to the beach for real relaxation, you may get lucky and grab the spot near the hammock!

Vendors

There was just one vendor at the park selling water and icees. 

 

Dog Park 

You’ll find a large K9 dog park here for pets to roam free. Many people brought dogs but they did not go onto the beach.

Fishing

There are fishing spots all along the shores of lake norman, but there was no fishing from the beach. 

 

Safety 

Barrier 

The bright yellow barrier worked to keep children from swimming or drifting out into the larger areas of Lake Norman.

Lifeguard

There are several lifeguards on duty and they are watching everything like hawks. They make sure kids are not playing breath holding games, going beyond the barrier, or throwing rocks.

 

Size of the beach 

The beach at Ramsey Creek is a small area of sand and rocks on Lake Norman. This beach was less than 200 feet long so space is obviously limited. 

What To Pack 

Assuming you’ll pack your towels, sunscreen, sun hats, and swimsuits, and beach toys here are some things you should pack that you may not be thinking of. 

 

Umbrellas: As a general rule, I would bring one beach umbrella for every 2 people. The sun is very strong in the Carolinas during the summer months and there is little to no shade on the beach. 

 

Large blanket: We are a family of 4 so in order to be comfortable on the beach we used a Queen size blanket to define our space. 

 

Flip flops or Water Shoes: The rocks on this beach are nothing to be scoffed at. They are sharp rocks and not comfortable to walk on. The sand is also very hot.

 

Toilet paper: Bring a roll just in case the restroom you’re in is all out.  

 

Cooler with drinks and food: We packed many snacks but there is no place to buy food at Ramsey Creek Park so pack REAL FOOD!
