The foamy breaking waves look all the more majestic while in a wool sweater and sipping an apple cider, so head over there to get some glimpses of an autumn you might miss if you keep to the city. Read more

Awesome campground and facilities. The showers are clean. Great time. The sign said the campgrounds were full but some of the sites were empty.

Indiana wastes its resources. Beautiful beach and they force everyone to cram in one spot of it if they want to swim. A lifeguard told one woman she wasn't even allowed to rinse off the sand.

Cool, breezy, rainy day - not the best for taking a dip in Lake Michigan.

Nice place, but on the 5th of July they had the nicer half of the beach closed just because they had no lifeguards posted there. It's a busy day - they should have it all open!!
