Lake Erie State Park
Brocton, NY
Lake Erie State Park is a 355 acre park on high bluffs above Lake Erie near Brocton, surrounded by the vineyards of the Chautauqua-Lake Erie grape belt. From the bluff tops you get sweeping views over the lake, and a beach below offers swimming in season. There are cabins, a campground, playgrounds, a disc golf course, and trails.
Beautiful bluff views over the lake, though the beach below is modest.
How we score beachesWatch the sunset from the bluff-top picnic area; the view west over the lake is spectacular.
A New York State Parks vehicle use fee applies in season.
The bluff-top areas are easy to reach; getting down to the beach involves a descent.
Summer is best for camping and swimming. September brings grape harvest season to the surrounding vineyards.

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.
