Atwater Beach could get a bigger swimming area next summer 🏖️
Shorewood’s proposed 2027 budget includes a major increase in funding for Atwater Beach lifeguards — from about $31,200 to $55,786 — with a note that says:
“Expanded Swim area + 1 time costs for equipment.”
The proposal appeared in Shorewood’s 2027 budget materials and will be part of the Village’s ongoing budget process this fall.
For families, that could mean more room to swim inside the guarded area at one of the North Shore’s most popular summer beaches. We’ll keep watching for details.
