Peter Posted July 7, 2009 Posted July 7, 2009 I was wondering whether any of you guys own or have rented there. What are your thoughts? Thanks.
PromoTheRobot Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 Never rented or owned, but let me describe my last visit there several years ago. I wanted to take my wife and daughter to a place of many happy memories. While I swam and frolicked more at Crystal Beach, I also had many good times at Sherkston Beach as well. So one weekend while visiting Buffalo I decided to take everyone. I got there and I was shocked at how much they were charging. $18 per person just to swim on the beach. Well it was a lot but we came all this way and it was a nice beach day so I paid the $54. I drove into the park and looked for a parking spot...and looked...and looked. I drove around the entire park and I swear every parking space was taken, including spaces that weren't mean to be parked in. I have never seen Sherkston this crowded. I mean it looked like a refugee camp. So I went back to the office and asked for my money back. I had not been there more that 30 minutes. I was refused. I asked to speak to the manager. And Australian fellow came out and basically told me tough schitt and get lost before he called a cop. This happened about 8 years ago. I don't know how Sherkston is now, but this episode left me with a bad taste. I would never go back. The management of Sherkston obviously did not know the meaning of the word "full." If I owned a property there and they packed the beach like this I'd be pretty pissed. I hope it's better now. PTR
