Clinch Park enjoys a waterfront location, giving residents and travelers to Traverse City a beautiful beach to enjoy only steps from Front Street’s shopping and dining. The water is crystal clear, the beach is 1500’ long, and its picnic tables and benches make it an excellent location for al fresco dining.

This popular beach has lifeguards from June until August, a splash pad, kayak rentals, a snack bar, and clean restrooms. The beach has access to bike trails and bike racks for those who wish to rest at the beach after pedalling hard. Open air music is performed on summer nights. Clinch Park is a terrific location for relaxing for watching either the boats in Grand Traverse Bay, or viewing the spectacular sunsets.
