MacGregor Point Provincial Park
Port Elgin, ON, Canada
MacGregor Point Provincial Park covers 7 km of Lake Huron coast just south of Port Elgin, Ontario, one of the most ecologically varied stretches of the shore. Several beaches and access points line the park, from a gently sloping sandy day-use beach to a rocky pet beach. There are no lifeguards or buoys, so this is more for wading, walking, and sunsets than laps.
A varied, natural shoreline with a pet beach, though the sand beaches are small and partly rocky.
How we score beachesHead to the day-use beach for sand; the pet beach is rocky in and out of the water, so bring water shoes for you and the dog.
Parking at the day-use area and campground beaches; an Ontario Parks permit is required.
Paths lead to each beach; shoreline surfaces range from sand to rock.
Dogs are allowed at the designated pet beach, which has a rocky shoreline.
The park is open all year. Summer is for the beaches; winter brings skiing and snowshoeing on the trails.
This isn't one entrance, it's a stretch with a few. Here's where locals actually meet up.

Sleeping Bear Dunes Beach
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.
