Gilford is home to both 1100' long Gilford Town Beach, and the 600' long beach at State of NH-Ellacoya State Park, about three miles south on Route 11.

It's easy to compare the two and come away thinking that Ellacoya State Park has better views, a better natural sandy beach, a better location on the lake, and better facilities including a store that sells sandwiches, ice cream, pizza, and soft drinks.
