That tiny island called Monkey Island. It was always busy with water skiers and boaters. We’d tie up a bunch of tubes and hang out getting dragged behind the boat. The world famous water skiers lived here in Leesburg and had a training school on Lake Harris. That lake was filled with skiers and boaters but now it’s only a few fisherman. Sadly…. Sammy Duvall lived in the apartments on the corner of 9th street and 27. The building is still there. Having said all that, the fried green tomato’s are pretty good.

It's the exact menu from Eaton's Beach that most of us have been enjoying for decades.

First time at Ski Beach in Leesburg - Awesome lake view! Decent fish fry (fried oysters / hushpuppies/ fries) - service was very good! Not too far of a drive from TV, especially if coming from south of 44. Will add to my restaurant rotation. Interested in hearing from others who have been to Ski Beach and what you ordered.
