Best places: Beaches in Indiana

Beach area on Lake Michigan features surfing, swimming & boating, plus a small zoo & lighthouse.

Lake Michigan beach park by Indiana Dunes with car/bike parking & bathrooms, but no lifeguards.

👍 This beach is sublime! It truly is. It is beautiful here and it's all soft sand. No rocks. There's somewhat of a boat launch for small watercraft. There is no way you will get a big boat in here, the water is just too shallow. I've seen the jet ski owners have to get off and push multiple times to g...

👍 An uncanny combination of sand dunes, thick forests, oceans, and desert, ​Indiana Dunes National Park has got it all when it comes to natural scenery. The biome here is incredibly diverse, and geology, botany, and wildlife needs will all have an equally good time exploring the many winding trails an...

👍 Not the nicest beach but its still fun

👍 It was very beautiful. Very lovely and lots of greenery .Saw a lot of deer just hanging out in the area. Horse trail and horse camping area. They also have a bike trail as well as a nature interpretive center with some rehabilitated birds. They also had a small beach that is open from memorial day t...

👍👍 I've waited almost a week to do this review. I can't pretend to hate kemil beach, but I so don't want to share it. It's perfect. Two lanes butted up next to woodsy. Maybe 25 parking spaces along the road. Lotsa (sort of) scary stairs to the beach. As I walked down, a couple was coming up and I said...

😐 It's 7 or 8 dollars at the gate to get in and the beach is always absolutely overflowing with people. I have never swam at this part of the lake because there is literally no privacy. You will be right on top of the people next to you. BUT, there are a few excellent restaurants and hotels nearby, as...

👍👍 it's really worth the drive. i went on a kind of gloomy day and could still see Chicago's skyline. it looked like a ghost city through the fog. if not for that Lake Michigan does look like the ocean. pavilion was closed. no people lounging, of course. there are bike trails and seating. the beach wa...

👍👍 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...

👍👍 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...

😐 My review is based on the hiking experience. Around 90-95% of the people coming through this section of the Dunes is going to the Beach and the path to get there is a very simple short walk (under a quarter of a mile) directly to the beach. For the hiking aspect, you’ll love it if you’re looking fo...

Celebrated lakefront beach offering a seasonal floating water park, picnic areas & skyline views.

😠 This city is a scam. Got towed while the sun was up and bright. Managed to find the tiny sign indicating a curfew, but no other useful information such as, you know, contact info. Good luck getting your vehicle(s) back when ECPD is closed on weekends and you have no idea where they were towed to.
