It can be found in Lake Norman, the largest man-made lake in the state of North Carolina.
The new beach will be open from noon to 6pm from Wednesdays to Sundays.
But it is important to note that there will not be a lifeguard on duty during the opening hours.
John Davis, the county’s parks and recreation director for Lincoln County, said: “We are very excited for this project as it will add another amenity for Lincoln County families and visitors.
“Lake Norman is the largest man-made lake in the state of North Carolina, and creating a safe and enjoyable access for the public to enjoy adds to the caliber of our community.”
The location includes a concession building, paved parking and bathrooms.
For now, admission to the beach is cash only, but this is said to be only temporary.
For children under five who are Lincoln County residents, they are able to get in completely free.
Lincoln County child residents over six will have to pay $2 entry, while adult Lincoln County residents pay $3.
If you are not a resident of Lincoln County, you will be forced to pay a little bit more.
Children who are non-Lincoln County residents will be paying $3, and non-Lincoln County resident adults pay $6.
SHELL SPOT
The US Sun recently reported on a deadly shell that beachgoers are being warned not to pick up.
The shells of cone snails are narrow at the base and wide at the top, with spires or coils.
Cone snails are very dangerous as they emit toxic venom from their harpoon-like tooth.
Humans can be easily jabbed by stepping on or picking up a cone snail.
Cone snails usually hunt fish and worms, and their paralyzing venom makes them skilled hunters.
One person called Becky posted about her encounter on TikTok.
She recounted: “I was playing with the most venomous creature in the ocean, that can lead to full paralysis or even fatality.
“Fun fact I learned is that the cone snail is nicknamed the ‘cigarette snail’, because, according to urban legend, you have just enough time after it stings you to light a cigarette … before you pass.
“When a cone snail stings you it can feel like a fire burning at the site, or it can feel like nothing.
“I spent the next 72 hours in full paranoia not knowing if I was stung.
“There is no ant-venom for the cone snail so if you were stung it really is a hope and pray situation.
“Thankfully I was not stung and I’m just grateful the snail decided not to defend himself that day, but I hope my story helps spread the word that not all pretty shells are harmless.”
