Sturgeon Point State Park
Harrisville, MI
Sturgeon Point State Park is a 76 acre park on a point of land three miles north of Harrisville, anchored by the white Sturgeon Point Lighthouse and its keeper's house, now a museum. The shore is stony, and a shallow reef runs far out from the point, which is why the light was built. Waves break over the reef on windy days.
A great little lighthouse stop, but the shore is stones and shallow reef, not a beach for lounging.
How we score beachesPay the small fee to climb the tower. The view shows the reef stretching out under the water.
A small lot at the lighthouse, off Point Road.
A short, flat walk from the lot to the lighthouse grounds and the stony shore.
The museum and tower keep summer hours. On stormy fall days, the surf over the reef is the reason to come.

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.
