Awsome beach area. Super clear water with great views of the scenery. Not the best for rock collecting except in few places along the coast can find awsome beach glass of many colors

This is my favorite place in Big Bay! That changes daily. From tons of rocks everywhere to no rocks to be seen! The strength of lake Superior and its majestic energy abounds on this awesome beach.

With waves pounding on the shore, this Lake Superior little stop can get you relaxed.

Beautiful scenery, kind of small but lots of swimming space and some of the best skipping rocks I've ever thrown. Not many people
