Lake City Beach

Highlight • Beach

This small beach at the end of the Northeast 130th Street is tiny, but it's a pretty cool place to take in a view of the water before continuing on with your run. The beach is about 60-foot wide and is often vacant. This is one of the best places to catch the sunrise along the water since it's facing directly east.
