“Best place ever to watch fireworks on 4th of July”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 April 2012

This is a great beach and the boardwalk goes on forever, it seems. One 4th of July, we climbed to the very top at dusk and watched all of the fireworks from all of the surrounding towns at once. It was very romantic!

Wonderful, natural, clean, sand dunes, not crowded. Joins dog beach. Walk for miles on clean, sandy beaches. Bring your own food.

“Two Words: Dog Beach!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 December 2011

One of the most amazing places on Earth for well-socialized dogs and their favorite people. A half mile of sandy beach bordered by Lake Michigan along its west side, and a natural sand dune to the east. There aren't any trash bins on the beach, so be sure to bring an extra dog waste bag and be prepared to carry... More

“Dogs, sand and water - what could be better!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 October 2011

The park has a beach section designated for dogs around a mile long, and is the cleanest beach I have ever seen. The dog area allows our cainine friends to be off leash and frolic in the water and sand like we do. The only thing is that to be off leash you have to have manners and not be... More
