Just in time for summer sunshine, Cane Creek Park is casting a line to all beach lovers with an early season opening this Memorial Day Weekend. For the first time in a few rotations around the sun, the local hotspot is set to welcome swimmers back to its sandy shores on today, tomorrow, and on Monday, as reported by the Union County website. With previous seasons treading water due to a lack of lifeguards, this year's announcement signals a resurgence of splashes and smiles at one of Union County’s cherished escapes.

The beach, limited to daylight hours, will beckon families starting at 11 a.m. until 6:30 p.m. on weekends, lifeguards willing. Park officials are recommending eager sun-seekers to get a jump on the day and arrive early to maximize their fun under the sun. Pending lifeguard availability, the early bird gets the wave, as the expression goes.

Adding a layer of leisure to the beach outing, the campground beach will also grace visitors with its presence this Saturday and Sunday of Memorial Day Weekend. "We’re thrilled to open the beach for Memorial Day Weekend this year," Parks & Recreation Director Jim Chaffin was quoted by the Union County website. The beach then shifts gears to a Friday and Saturday schedule, riding the summer wave.

Across from lilies reportedly blooming, the campground beach picks up the baton for the rest of the week, sticking to a Fridays and Saturdays only calendar through the summer haze. Chaffin's enthusiasm heralds a season brimming with potential for making new memories alongside BBQs and beach volley, in a statement obtained by the Union County website.
