Lac Michigan plages

This beach is incredibly clean and beautiful, with ample parking available. I went there to search for interesting rocks, and it turned out to be a lovely spot to sit and watch the water.

The beach was stunning, and they allowed dogs without any charge. We would definitely visit again.

We had a fantastic day at Michigan Beach Park with our family. The beach was well-maintained, there was ample parking, and the restrooms were conveniently placed. Just a small note, there are quite a few rocks near the water's edge, so if you have sensitive feet, it might be a good idea to bring water shoes. However, once you get past the initial rocky area, the sand on the beach and lake bottom is perfect. Apart from that, we highly recommend paying a visit!

This review might come across as a bit unfair, but I want to be honest and explain my thoughts. The beach is actually quite nice and has its advantages. It's not as crowded, so if you're not a fan of crowds, you might prefer it here. The beach stretches out for a long distance, allowing plenty of space to spread out. The view of Lake Michigan is always beautiful. Additionally, dogs are allowed on the beach. Now, let's talk about the negatives. It takes about 3 minutes to walk from the parking lot to the beach, which may not be a big deal, but the path is uneven. The drive down to the beach is on a crazy road with a steep incline and twists. While the view is pretty, it's a bit underwhelming compared to other nearby beaches. Overall, I would rate this beach as a 3-star experience. This is mainly because there are other beaches in the area that are fantastic and very close by, such as Frankfort Beach and Point Betsie Lighthouse Beach. If those beaches were further away, maybe around 30 minutes instead of 8 and 20, I would probably give this beach a 4-star rating. But if you prefer this beach, more power to you.

This beach is a great find, tucked away from the usual crowds and perfect for bringing your furry friend along! The sandy beach is lovely, the water is peaceful, and there are no rocks to worry about. Additionally, there is a picnic area, playground, and restroom facilities available.

This is my second favorite lighthouse in Michigan, with Grand Haven being my top choice! The beach here is adorned with beautiful, flat white rocks that have been polished by Lake Michigan. As an avid rock hunter, I was thrilled to find numerous fossils, including Petoskey stones 😀. Although the visitor center was closed during my visit, the lighthouse itself is breathtaking in person. I highly recommend this spot for anyone interested in lighthouses or rock hunting!
