Big Bear City and its attractions for beach lovers

While Big Bear City is set against the stunning backdrop of the San Bernardino Mountains, it’s not primarily known for beach activities, as it is inland and surrounded by forest rather than coastal shores. However, the nearby Big Bear Lake offers a plethora of water-based adventures. Travellers can enjoy a day at the lake's sandy shores, perfect for sunbathing and picnicking, or engage in exciting water sports like kayaking and paddleboarding. The Alpine Slide at Magic Mountain is a family-friendly attraction, where you can zoom down the hillside on a toboggan, providing a unique thrill amid the forest scenery. For nature lovers, hiking trails around the lake, such as the Castle Rock Trail, offer breathtaking views and a chance to explore the diverse wildlife. When it comes to accommodation, the area around Big Bear Lake features charming lodges and hotels that boast lake views and direct access to the water. This setting ensures a blend of relaxation and adventure, creating a perfect base for families looking to enjoy quality time together in the great outdoors.
