Review:
One of the prime attractions on Washington Island is without doubt the beautiful limestone Schoolhouse Beach. Schoolhouse Beach is totally devoid of sand and the smooth rounded pebbles you will feel under your feet have been glacier-polished over thousands of years, and will pleasantly massage your feet as you walk. Schoolhouse beach is great for swimming – here you can swim out to the swimming platform (the water depth increases rapidly) and enjoy diving and snorkeling in the crystal-clear Lake Michigan waters.
The beach is great for sun-tanning (perhaps not quite as comfortable as a sand beach – just bring a mattress) and there is a wooded area where you can picnic or have a barbecue.
