The beach is stunning, although it is quite small. The water appears murky and contains a significant amount of dark organic matter. Unfortunately, there is a strong unpleasant smell, likely of a biological nature. If you plan on swimming, it's recommended to head north towards Christmas Cove.

The beach was quite large, but the water had an unpleasant appearance and odor. It seemed muddy and there were dead weeds being washed up onto the shore.

The beach was actually quite lovely, it was clean but on the smaller side with low water levels. There weren't many rocks to collect, but you could easily wade far into the lake. I was hesitant to visit due to the negative reviews, but they turned out to be inaccurate.

This beach is one of the lesser-known gems in the peninsula when it comes to catching a breathtaking sunset. When the waves are high, they gracefully crash onto the shoreline in a mesmerizing crisscross pattern. Although there are No trespassing signs posted, you are still allowed to stroll along the beach as long as you stay below the high water mark. Just be mindful not to overstay your welcome and set up camp on someone else's beach for an extended period. Nowadays, most of the lots have been developed with houses.

We stumbled upon this stunning beach while driving around. As huge fans of Lake Michigan, we often dedicate endless hours to exploring beaches similar to this one. Although there are numerous beaches lining the shores of Lake Michigan, this particular gem stands out as one of the most breathtaking!
