Within Lake Bluff

Duck Lake Channel

Beach

👍👍 My family used to visit Duck Lake every summer growing up, and now as an adult I always make a point to stop out a few times each year. The beach and dunes stretch along the coast as far as you can see, with plenty of spots to set up for the day, whether it be towels on the beach or hammocks up in t...

Lake View Beach

Beach

👍👍 Updates for Lake View Beach and the National Park restrooms and parking at this site. As of our visit at the beginning of September, the beach is open. Well, the northeast half of it is a Perched Beach using a rock revetment with a protected area of beach and trees artificially held about 5 or 6 f...

Northwestern University - Lincoln St. Beach

Beach

👍 This beach is free with a NU ID or a Henry Crown/SPAC membership, otherwise you have to pay the usual Evanston fees to get onto the beach. The beach itself is small and there isn't really room for a volley ball net, but it's clean and still has a good view. Room for throwing frisbees in the back. Ju...

Grand Haven City Beach

Beach

👍👍 Absolutely gorgeous beach! The water is crystal clear. The sand is very clean. The pier and lighthouse are so beautiful. We went at sunset and the beach was still filled with people. This place did not disappoint. There is also a fountain light show around 10:10pm about a half a mile down from the b...

1st Street Beach Manistee, Michigan

Beach

👍👍 Nice they have shelters here you can sit out of the sun and eat lunch, while basking in the views of the lake and pier. Lake Michigan is gorgeous here, and it’s worth it to take a stroll after lunch to the pier and walk it, or to the concession area and bathrooms just to the south.

Duck Lake Beach

Beach

👍👍 Really nice clean beach, there is the channel that connects to the lake where it's really shallow that really good for kids. The beach area is big and the water is clear. There are restroom in the parking area located in the park. For the parking you can park on the side of the road and walk down to...

Columbia Beach

Beach

👍👍 If your looking for a shallow beech this is the one, the water is maybe 3feet deep in the areas they allow swimming. It is never too crowded and there is always a life guard on duty

4.70 (164 reviews) (~33.75 km from centre)

Ottawa Beach

Beach

👍👍 This is probably hands down one of the best beaches on Lake Michigan. Plenty of parking, plenty of beach, and even a little snack shop that serves ice cream! Definitely a beach you want to check out.

4.70 (79 reviews) (~144.02 km from centre)

West Beach

Beach

👍👍 Great beach and a couple nice hiking trails. But if you're visiting for a day, as a local, I highly recommend going to the State Park in Chesterton. West Beach has a $25 admission, only $12 there, and the beach/lake view/pavilion/trails/nature center are WAY nicer. The new restored Beach Pavilion...
