Extremely tranquil and spotless. The water is stunningly beautiful. Strolling to the lighthouse is a unique experience.

This is one of our top beaches in Michigan. The sand is smooth with minimal rocks, and the water is crystal clear. The beach features a pier with a lighthouse, a playground, and a concession stand.

An excellent destination throughout the year. Stroll along the lighthouse pier when the weather allows. Leashed dogs are welcome, except in designated swimming areas.

Stunning beach with an excellent beachside restaurant offering reasonable prices. There's also a fantastic beach park where the little ones can play. We spent the day there and it was an ideal afternoon with the family. The waters were calm and quiet, fluffy clouds dotted the distant sky, and the sunlight was just right. There were only a few visitors. Absolutely perfect.

For children, there's a playground available if they need a break from swimming. Additionally, there's a pier that extends out to a lighthouse, perfect for a leisurely stroll. Overall, it's a delightful beach to visit.
