Emergency Biohazard Cleanup Services in Crystal Beach, NY

Crystal Beach is a hamlet and census-designated place in Ontario County, New York - not to be confused with the better-known Crystal Beach in Ontario, Canada - set on the eastern shore of Canandaigua Lake, one of the Finger Lakes.

Crystal Beach had a population of just 627 at the 2020 census, down from 644 in 2010, spread over about 0.885 square miles, of which roughly 0.2 square miles is water.

Before it was developed, the Crystal Beach land was the Washburn family's large grape farm; in 1929 Paul Ritchie of the Finger Lakes Company bought it and platted a cottage development with a grid of roads, dedicated park land and 965 small lots of 30 by 80 feet.

The Great Depression stopped the development before most cottages were built, so many of Crystal Beach's homes were later put up by non-professional builders, giving the community the varied cottage styles it still has today.

The community is served by New York State Route 364, the highway running down the east side of Canandaigua Lake.

Crystal Beach's public parks include Deep Run Park, which has a lifeguarded swimming beach open from Memorial Day to Labor Day, along with Ontario Beach Park and Crystal Beach Park.

Crystal Beach is an older, heavily seasonal lake community - Census Bureau survey data put the median resident age at about 61 years, and survey estimates count roughly 435 housing units, many of them summer cottages.
