Robin Lake Beach | Callaway Gardens

Robin Lake Beach

You wouldn't expect a white sand beach in the middle of Georgia but that's exactly what you'll find at Robin Lake Beach in Callaway Gardens. This is the world's largest manmade, white sand beach–it stretches a mile around 65-acre Robin Lake. The Beach is the hub of Summer activity at the Gardens and the center stage for our popular Summer Adventure program. Robin Lake Beach is open daily from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day Weekend and the Sky High Hot Air Balloon Festival. Please remember to stay hydrated and use sunscreen.
