Budny Beach or Beach 10 as its commonly called is popular with boaters, kite fliers and wind surfers. This guarded beach includes a bathhouse and ample parking. Its a fun and exciting beach to visit when you go to Lake Erie.

Despite huge crowds in the summer you can always find a place here since its a pretty big beach. Finding a good spot is easy enough to simply spread yourself.


Kite flying is the thing to do at this beach. This extremely popular activity is enjoyed to the hilt here with people often bringing in more than one kite to fly at the same time. And so you will see exciting and unique kites on this beach. Its an amazing sight watching all the kite-flying on windy skies beside the water.
