Lake of the Ozarks State Park Grand Glaize Marina Recreation Area and Public

My family and I swam at the beach here and had a really nice day. I suggest wearing water shoes though. The sand is more like crushed rock pieces. My 3 year old was still able to make sand castles with it. The swimming area is roped off, so you don't have to worry about boats.

Very clean and CLEAR. Grandkids had an amazing Time AS WELL as I.. H2O temp was perfect!.. Hell I even saw a GREAT SANITATION worker there DOING AN AMAZING JOB by keeping EVERYTHING Spotless!¡ GREAT experience all the way around..I recommend this BUEATIFUL LOCATION to al. FAMILY and GOOD TIMERS.

Fantastic place to swim and relax. It is free for the public to use, and the public take advantage of the swimming area on the weekends. It is normally packed! During the week however it is much more relaxed atmosphere with far fewer swimmers. It is in a no wake cove so there are no waves coming in from big and wake board boats. It is also a nice relaxing place to have a picnic.

The place is awesome to have fun during the summer. Safe for play with water in assigned area.
It would be better to go for a boat ride first and be here. Make sure you get your boat before 2.00 pm.

Wonderful little Sandy Beach. My girls had a blast. The "sand" is not terribly fine, but it was enough for us. Really appreciated that the restrooms even had hot showers! Lots of parking.

This place a hidden gem. Park is beautiful, spectacular lake view, tons of walking and hiking trails, picnic areas..We went there mid September, it was very quite, relaxing atmosphere, especially the Grand Glaize Beach is beautiful..

Really nice beach area with restrooms, outside rinse area for feet and a small store nearby by the boat docks. The swimming area is rope off in the water so boats can't come close. There was a nice shaded picnic area nearby as well.

They don't rent kayaks here. I didn't see bass boats, either. Staff is great. Boats are very nice and clean. Life vests were brand new! I'm used to those being disgusting. 😂 We rented the Harris 150hp pontoon. Very good prices compared to private companies in the area. Also had availability when all others were sold out.
Store has gallons of water, some snacks, drinks, supplies and souvenirs. Watch the video they send you, or they'll make you watch it there. 😁

Nice small beach accessible to the public. But the size is too small for the amount of tourists visiting this place on long weekends. Huge respite from 100° temps!

Easy to get to. Clean facilities. The boat launch ramp has 4 lanes, and there is a ton of parking. There is a small store, as well as a marina.

Fun in the sun! Clean place for shallow water access. There's also a little playground for small kids, picnic tables and grills.

Has a nice beach for swimming, the water is very clear. The Mariana is a short walk away.

Clean, Family Friendly, close restroom/changing area, sandy beach that extends into the water so your not swimming in a mudhole, lots of varying depths of water for any stage of swimmer, and gorgeous wooded and lake views!

went to the play equipment with my wife and kids. The kids loved it and had plenty of seating for me and my wife.

Absolutely beautiful and even have a park area for kids ☺

Not a very large area but we had a blast, when we went it was sunny and the water was warm, stayed all afternoon and cant wait to go back.

My uncle and I rented a pontoon boat for a half a day.
The whole process was absolutely wonderful!
He has a beautiful home at the Lake of the Ozarks, lakefront, but had not been on the lake for 10 years, in a boat.
The staff was friendly and professional.
The boat was super clean and in tip top condition.
I would highly recommend renting a boat here!!!!! We had a blast!!!
He had so much fun, whenever any of our family goes to visit, he will be renting a boat again! 😁

This was an amazing launch. We used our RV to launch our boat and it couldn’t have gone more perfect!!!! We then kept our boat here for 4 days under a covered area, which was so nice!!!! We passed many marinas and I didn’t see one as nice as this. Everyone was very friendly. The gift shop was a nice touch! I got a koozie and some magnets!

Beautiful area great amenities lots to do absolutely loved it

It’s a nice state park with no fee for swimming, picnic, and water sports. The water quality is acceptable but not very good. Pets are not allowed.
