Visit Hammond's Spectacular Coastline
Hammond can boast having one of the largest inland marinas in the country, sandwiched right between two parks. Lakefront Park to the west of the marina, is a city park with a bathing beach, nature trails and a scenic lake overlook. Whihala Beach is a county owned park just east of the marina and water filtration plant, this park also features a swimming and bathing beach along with a fishing pier and other amenities. Take a virtual tour below.
