Cherry Beach is a hidden gem on the shores of Lake Michigan. This unspoiled sandy beach invites visitors to take a break from the outside world and relax to the sound of the waves lapping the shoreline. Even though Cherry Beach is a public area that was deeded to Chikaming Township in the 1920s, its limited access makes it feel exclusive. Only a lucky few will have the opportunity to enjoy Cherry Beach for more than a day at a time, as rental properties are scarce, and therefore in high demand. Reservations should be made far in advance for those who want to stay in this peaceful enclave.
