A nice beach, running parallel to the busy touristic E Front street. The neighboring houses built on the side of the canal is also nice. Lot of activities along the beach. The sunset view in the evening, from the sunset park or anywhere from the beach, is a nice experience. Plenty and variety of dining and shopping options available. Plenty of paid car parking available.

The wind is brisk, the waves choppy. Saw true naturist and dogs in the water. The tree is what caught our eye, as we drove by... West side is dog friendly, indeed. East side, not so much. 13 of 24 parking spaces still intact... others appear broken off into the boulders. MI rest areas, clean & convenient. Even on Mother's Day! Public restroom, off of Grandview Pkwy & N. Division St. BATHROOM available! Men West side, women East side.

Minimal parking spaces makes the beach less crowded. Bathrooms are nearby and because the parking lot is so close, it's very convenient when you have small kids.
