    Nice beach area with ample parking. Unfortunately there was some type of algae bloom so I didn't get my feet wet. Beautiful views from the top of the rocks.

    Nice beach. Next time we visit, I'll bring a garbage bag to pick up litter. There is a well built mobility ramp for beach access.

    Racine has turned what was once just an old mucky forgotten Lake Michigan beach front into a wonderful established wetland. This is on the inside of the South breakwater so it's protected from the lake. They added a boardwalk through the area with benches for viewing and informative plaques along the way. It's a very lovely place to walk through as well just sit on one of the benches and take it all in. Racine also erected a large pavilion/ gazebo above the wetland area in Myers Park. There is a Butterfly Garden planted next to it with information on Monarch Butterflies posted on a plaque there. Myers Park is a lovely little park with trees planted in memory of loved ones along with pretty evergreens overlooking the wetland trail and Lake Michigan's calmer breakwater. There are a couple of paths through the park, one leading from the gazebo to the parking area. Another leads from the parking lot to the stairs leading down to the wetland boardwalk. For people who don't know, this is the small park just South of Gateway, down the hill on Pershing Blvd.

    Gotta say I'm impressed by the beauty of this location. You can see right through the water it's so clear. It's a lot warmer than the South Shore Beach and has an isolated feel to it. I'm not familiar with the history of this space but I can tell it was once a project. The steps to get down aren't the safest or it would get 5 stars. If a group got together to clean up the degree and fix the steps, I really believe this spot would be booming with life! Also great place to catch minnows for fishing.

    Is there anything better than driving to the lake for a sunrise? I mean...living on it would be great!

    Very nice people. Beach and water are fairly clean. Very nice place to bring your dog as it's off leash, shallow and inside break water for dogs of all sizes to enjoy

  • 3/5 destiny b. 5 years ago on Google
    People need to stop littering all the crapthat washes up on shore really takes away from the beauty the area could be.

    Racine is working to restore the wetlands in this area, and so far they're doing a good job!

  • 5/5 Daniel N. 1 year ago on Google
    Came here with my fiance and friends for a picnic, and enjoyed how quiet it was. The sound of the waves as a backdrop was amazing. When the sun went down we walked the wetland area and caught a bunch of toads and frogs. SUPER FUN TIME!!!!

  • 3/5 Celeste E. 4 years ago on Google
    The beach is beautiful, but it is full of trash laying around. I'm sure that if there was a clean up a few times a year, it would look better.

    Very peaceful area to just listen and reflect. Sad to see winter has to come.

  • 5/5 James G. 1 year ago on Google
    Great little park, marshland boardwalk area, and the beach front is prime for sea glass hunting. It also contains a a sizable gazebo you could host a small family get together in.

    Good place to walk and enjoy a beautiful day. Not super clean but there is plenty of parking and there is some events during the summer near by like live music so thats great go to place for summer

  • 5/5 Kimberly M. 1 year ago on Google
    This in my opinion is a MUCH better swimming beach for families as it is very shallow a long way out so there is plenty of room to spread out and even very young children can go in further. Bring your flotation device and walk or swim out to meet the boats that are anchored up. Many of them can be reached in only waist deep (for adults) water. It's also very dog friendly and calm water.

  • 5/5 Michelle S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great little lakefront park and beach. Popular in summer with anchored boats out from shore. Depending on the conditions, sometimes the water can be turned up with a bit of organic debris, but overall a nice beach.

  • 5/5 Blair O. 10 months ago on Google
    What a cute little park! It's like a miniature beach. Decent sand and nicely inclined. Super safe for kids.

  • 5/5 Alyssa N. 10 months ago on Google
    Beautiful! A nice quiet place to get away and enjoy nature.

  • 2/5 Summer D. 9 months ago on Google
    It's private, and there is quite a long distance of shallows with nice sandy bottom, but it is filthy and smells horrible!!! I took my kids yesterday, and there were red signs up saying do not swim. So before we went any further, I looked why it was closed. Omg!!! Closed for fecal bacteria in the water. The health department needs to do better, our water is getting out of hand!

    Very nice down here now!

  • 5/5 Joshua C. 6 years ago on Google
    This space had vastly improved in recent years. With the new walkway, gazebo, benches, and sand prairie plants, it really feels like a place worth visiting. Had a picnic with the family and walked along the planks. Loved it!

  • 5/5 Sandra S. 3 years ago on Google
    Quiet, peaceful, not crowded. Maybe it's too small for a crowd, but it's perfect for a little me time.

  • 5/5 SidDaSquid 8. 3 years ago on Google
    A nice little escape where not too many people go where you can relax. Perfect for a romantic date where you can picnic or just to observe nature and dig your feet in the sand in the parks small beach area.
