There are actually multiple beaches to be found in this extensive area , with some highlights being Cedar Point, Golden Township Park, and Little Sable Point Lighthouse Beach.
Again, as the name suggests, the Silver Lake Sand Dunes Area is filled with some very impressive sand dunes to admire and explore.
Off-road vehicle tours are especially popular around this area and there are actually some hidden little beach spots that can only really be accessed in ORVs.
The beaches here border both Lake Michigan and Silver Lake, so you're getting twice as much water and fun in one great location, and there are hiking trails among the dunes as well.
