Go alone or go with some friends. It's an amazing getaway from your troubles and tribulations and just lay in the sun and relax. And a tiny flask of Johnnie Walker is an added bonus. ;)
Nice people here, it's a sense of community, you feel pretense dissipate. We brought meat to grill but no charcoal, people offered us food and then we used their grill. We ended up all sharing food!
Voted Best Beach by City Pages in 2010. More than any other lakeshore in the Twin Cities, Hidden Beach functions exactly as a beach should: a place to chill, both literally and figuratively.
