Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore
The beautiful and pristine shores of Lake Michigan are home to several lovely beaches where the whole family can enjoy some outdoor fun. There are several individual beaches to choose from including Platte River Point, Peterson Beach, Esch Beach (aka Otter Creek Beach) and Glen Haven Beach. All of these are great for soaking up the sun, swimming (do be aware that rip tides may occur on the lake), walking and castle building. At Platte River Point the warmer water from the river enters the lake, affording great conditions for swimming and paddling. Dogs are allowed on some of the beaches – please check the website for more details.
