Have you heard about the nationwide lifeguard shortage? Yes, there is such a thing. That is why, when the announcement was made that the City of Kingston would be able to welcome back visitors to a popular family hang-out and tourist spot, everyone was excited.

So what is happening? The City of Kingston, NY announced that Kingston Point Beach will be opening for the 2022 season on Friday, June 17, 2022. There was a chance that this was not going to happen, because of the lifeguard shortage.

Ratings are based on six categories: affordability, weather, safety, economy, education and health, and quality of life.
