ROCK HOUNDERS will absolutely adore this expansive beach. I visited on the first Saturday after Labor Day and was surprised by how empty it was! Not that I'm complaining, but a beach as stunning as this one is usually quite busy. It's a fairly large beach (from end to end), so it would likely take a lot of people to make it feel crowded. The park features a nice pavilion, a few charcoal grills, a bench near the water in the sand, a vaulted toilet, and a boat ramp for loading and unloading boats. The only potential downside is the parking situation, as there didn't seem to be much available given the park's size. I highly recommend visiting this beach, even if you're not into rock hunting, but simply enjoy relaxing by the water.
This past weekend, we traveled up to the UP and stopped at this place to camp for the night. It was an awesome little spot to sleep. The water was calm, the weather was beautiful, and the water was crystal blue.
