Pebble Beach

Highlight • Beach

Pebble Beach within Lakeshore State Park is a small patch of beach along Lake Michigan. This particular section of beach is on a small inlet created by the patch of land that is Lakeshore State Park that juts out into the lake, so visitors are not actually looking at Lake Michigan as they look at the waters on this beach's shore.

Grant Park Beach

Highlight • Beach

Grant Park Drive runs along the coast but is separated from Grant Park Beach by a strip of woodland. There are some trails through the woods so you can access the beach from a number of different places, but the best option is to use the Oak Creak parking lot near Ferch's Beachside Grille. There are plenty of services here such as a playground and café, and you can walk right onto the beach.
