Ellison Bay Beach
Ellison Bay, WI
Ellison Bay Beach is the town beach at the south end of Ellison Bay, on the west side of Highway 42 at the bottom of the big hill coming down from Sister Bay. The sand is soft and the water in the little bay is warm and calm. Bluffs rise around the bay, and the village is a few steps up the road.
Soft sand and warm, calm water under the bluffs, though parking is limited.

Empire, MI · Great Lakes
Freshwater Lake Michigan surf below towering sand dunes, some over 400 feet tall, with water clear enough to rival a coastline and a hike back up the dune to burn it off.
New Buffalo City Beach
New Buffalo, MI · Great Lakes
New Buffalo City Beach is the first real Lake Michigan beach you hit crossing from Indiana, a wide stretch of sand at the end of Whittaker Street beside the harbor and the Galien River channel. Chicago weekenders fill it in summer. The town's shops and restaurants are a five minute walk back up the street.
Warren Dunes State Park
Sawyer, MI · Great Lakes
Warren Dunes State Park in Sawyer has roughly three miles of Lake Michigan shoreline and some of the tallest dunes in southwest Michigan. Tower Hill rises about 260 feet above the lake, and climbing it and running back down is a rite of passage. On a hot July Saturday the beach feels like a small city.
