Simmons Island Beach

Beautiful large park and beach area! The beach house is open and very nice!! Lot's of snacks and cold drinks available.It is very nice for walking and relaxing here on a hot day.I highly recommend

If you are looking for a nice place to swim, walk, or just take in the beauty of the Great Lake Michigan, this is the place! There are restrooms and a rinse station for when you are done in the sand. As well as plenty of photo opportunities with the Lighthouse at the point. We had a blast here swimming and playing in the waves. The water was cool, but not as cold as up north by Mackinac Bridge. The sand extends far into the water, so minimal rocks. We got away with being barefoot and went pretty far out.

This place is definitely a gem. I drove from MO to get here, which was over 9 hours and this was breathtaking to see.... The water was absolutely freezing so couldn't do much in it for myself. But just relaxing and enjoying the sounds was well worth it.

Beautiful place to take pictures and enjoy a cool breeze on a hot summer day. Also, the coastline alone is the best view of Kenosha.
