Sammamish Beach Club

The Sammamish Beach Club is a private shared beach -- part of land ownership in Beaumont, Sammamish Heights and Lake Crest neighborhoods in Bellevue, WA.

Beach: Rules

Each household that is a "Member in good standing" gets one access key to the secured beach. If Members would like to have another family member "go ahead" and still get through the locked gate on their own, they may purchase a second key at cost. Any lost key must also be replaced at cost. Your Beach Club gate key also unlocks the Beach House.

Property rights of adjacent neighbors must be respected. Access to and from the beach shall be via beach club property only. The one exception is during access of 911 emergency personnel.

Non-member guests may use the facility when accompanied by a valid member.

Hours

[top]

The beach shall only be used between sunrise and dusk. Currently, the only exception to this rule is when we all get together on the 4th of July to look at the fireworks.

Children

[top]

The conduct and safety of children is the responsibility of their parents. However, adult members who let their children come to the beach without adult supervision will be liable for any misuse of the facilities or infractions of the beach club rules by their unsupervised children. Any adult member may send unsupervised children home if they misuse the facilities, disregard beach club rules or fail to show respect for other members.

Damage

[top]

Members will be held liable for any action by themselves, their children or their guests that causes damage to or loss of Beach Club property. When a Member's beach access key is used to gain access to secured Club facilities that Member becomes liable for any damage to or loss of Club facilities and/or Member possessions stored in those secured Club facilities.

Cleaning Up

[top]

Because this is a shared facility, everyone is responsible for cleaning up after themselves and properly storing and securing any items that they have used (i.e. the barbeque, the Club canoe, shared life vests, safety items or chairs that were locked in the Beach House, etc.) If you take something out and someone else is using it when you want to leave, please make sure that the current user knows where the item should be stored when they leave.

Beach House Cleaning Supplies

Cleaning up after yourself is especially important in the Beach House. Each room has a plastic container under the sink that contains paper products, hand soap, small garbage bags and spare light bulbs. At least two spare toilet paper rolls should be left on the handle of the plumber's helper that is adjacent to each toilet. The room to the west (to the right as you enter the door) has a second plastic container that contains large plastic bags for the outside garbage cans and general cleaning products that can be used to clean the toilets and sinks . If you notice that any products are running low please contact the Club's Facility Administrator.

There are a couple of mops and brooms in the Beach House that eagerly await the touch of your hands. If it looks dirty and you've got a minute, please give it a quick cleaning. The garbage cans under the sinks magically turn into buckets when you remove the plastic garbage bags. Also, if you see a full garbage can, take the time to empty it. In an effort to keep expenses down we ask that; if you have a free hand when you're leaving, please carry out a bag of garbage and drop it in your container when you get home.

Barbeque

If you do use the barbeque, make sure that the valve on the propane tank is fully shut off before you put it away. There is a spare propane tank in the storage shed. When you swap-out an empty tank please notify the Club's Facility Administrator so it can be refilled.

Boat Use

[top]

Anyone who wishes to use our Club boats must sign a liability waiver before they can get a key to unlock a boat. Contact the Club's Facility Administrator to obtain a key.

Leaving Personal Items

[top]

The Sammamish Beach Club will not be held liable for any damage or theft of personal items left at the beach. If you elect to leave any personal items at the beach they must be marked with, at a minimum, your name (name, street address & phone number is best). All shared storage space is provided on a first-come, first-serve basis. If there is no way to neatly rearrange existing items to accommodate any additions, the additions may NOT be left at the beach.

Storage

[top]

Storage Shed keys are located on a hook on the inside of the West bathroom's door jam. Please immediately replace the keys after you unlock a shed.

• East Storage Shed is exclusively for Beach Club items (The Club's barbeque, extra propane, yard maintenance equipment, etc.)
• Front Storage Shed is provided specifically for member items.
• Beach House - Life Vests should be the only personal items left in the Beach House. Beach Club items such as chairs, the plastic containers holding supplies and cleaning materials and other cleaning items such as brooms and mops are OK.
