Personally, now I do not like crowds so I head to an area that is quiet. I do wish there were more sandy bottom places for my kids to enjoy though.

We tend to go there when there won't be big crowds, and leave when it gets crowded. My kids and my guest's kids love the soft sand, shallow water, and lack of wakes there. We anchor at the far end and are often the northernmost boat on the sandbar. We often meet up with friends in other boats, and could be considered part of the "problem" when it comes to crowds there, a couple of times per year. We don't hang out with a party crowd, drink much, play drinking games, or listen to loud music, but the kids can get a little loud with their horseplay sometimes.
If you've never snorkeled in the weed bed at the very end of the bay, in late August, you should give it a try. The whole area is packed with schools consisting of thousands of smaller fish (mostly young yellow perch and blue gills) in the gaps between the weed thickets, and the weed thickets are swarming with larger predatory fish (bass and chain pickerel) looking for a stray smaller fish to make a meal of. It's like visiting an aquarium only a lot wetter.
