The beach offered a stunning view, although my photography skills didn't quite capture its beauty. Despite its small size, the beach was situated in an excellent location.

The beach was quite small, but it offered a fantastic view of the Mac Bridge. I noticed a sculpture of some kind, which was interestingly covered in ice from the waves. It looked really cool, and I had a great time capturing pictures there.

One of the most serene and charming hidden gems in Mackinaw City, this beach park manages to preserve the essence of the town that has been overshadowed by commercialization over the past two decades. From here, you can admire the magnificent Mighty Mac and the island, all while enjoying a peaceful atmosphere due to its distance from the bridge and its location on a quiet side street. Although parking is limited, you'll find benches, picnic tables, a beautiful beach, vibrant flowers, and the soothing sound of water and waves. Simply take a seat, relax, and savor the breathtaking views.
