The beach is incredibly clean and stunning. Although parking is $8 per day, getting a season pass is the best option if you visit more than once a year. The bathrooms are tidy and enjoyable, and the beach is well-maintained. The swimming area is absolutely delightful 😍. It's a wonderful spot to relax, with plenty of nearby amenities or on-site facilities to make a full day of enjoyment.

The beach was nearly deserted the first time we visited, which was fantastic. The weather was beautiful and sunny. However, the next time we went, it was completely packed. The restrooms were clean and spacious, and the beach itself was well-maintained. We were pleased to find several grilling areas, and our experience grilling there was truly amazing. The playground was also quite spacious. It's worth mentioning that parking cost $8, but we opted to purchase a one-year pass for $25.

The beach was quite crowded, so we had to park in the overflow parking lot half a mile away and walk in because it was at full capacity. There is a fantastic bike path to ride on. The beach and sidewalks are clean and well taken care of. There is plenty of waterfront available to use, so it doesn't feel too crowded with other beachgoers. The park staff were incredibly friendly. I definitely plan on returning.

The beach is always kept in great condition and is very clean. I would suggest arriving early on busy summer weekends since the parking lot is not very big. Unlike Grand Haven State Park, it's never overcrowded here, allowing you to truly unwind and enjoy the beach. The bathrooms are nice, not extravagant, but generally kept quite clean.
