The foamy breaking waves look all the more majestic while in a wool sweater and sipping an apple cider , so head over there to get some glimpses of an autumn you might miss if you keep to the city . Read more

Great hiking trails and nice beach but no alcohol

Narendran Murugan

Awesome campground and facilities. The showers are clean . Great time. The sign said the campgrounds were full but some of the sites were empty.

Steve Farr

Very relaxing......hadn't been in years, must go more often!!

Kevin Joy

Cool, breezy , rainy day - not the best for taking a dip in Lake Michigan.

Bernadette O'Malley

Quiet , peaceful walking areas even off season.

Morgan Foster

Nice place, but on the 5th of July they had the nicer half of the beach closed just because they had no lifeguards posted there. It's a busy day - they should have it all open!!

Cindy Hatfield

Great campground with concrete pads and lots of room. Beautiful beach and trails .

Ingrid Perdue

Fantastic!!! Beautiful wooded dunes ! Great hikes ! The beach is wide with soft sand .

Bjorn S

Great views and worth stop! 10 USD for out of state residents.

Dan Laird

Indiana wastes its resources. Beautiful beach and they force everyone to cram in one spot of it if they want to swim . A lifeguard told one woman she wasn't even allowed to rinse off the sand.

Ryann Friese

The view makes a hike up the dunes worth it

Shannon Kennedy-Fillion

Beautiful beach , lots of dunes to climb and super clean .

Debbie Briseno

Walking the beach and watching the sunset are relaxing after work.

I love the Dunes! Hardly a bad site in the place. The bathrooms have been renovated, and the trails are beautiful. You can't beat camping over the dune from the Great Lake. - Amata Bernacchi

Outlet mall that is open air. Open year round, but easier to shop during the nicer weather months. Still a prime location locals know well. - Starr Gibson
