Trails lead from the parking lot down to a creek and the lake. Nice spot for a birding outing or a picnic. Good place to bring your kids, as the place is pretty safe (as long as you keep your kids away from the cliff). But there is a lot of lawn between the lot and the cliff. There is an old silo next to the parking lot. When I was a kid, the rumor was that some guy hung himself in it. It does have an eerie feeling to it. Walking down the road to the beach you will find an old metal bridge in the middle of nowhere. You can drop a fishhook there if you want. A bit farther to a small beach. Some of the place is pretty wild. But the park is a bit tame for my tastes. I prefer the Point Creek Conservation Area a few mile north on the same highway. Yet, this place is a nice place to spend some quiet time and do a little wildlife observation. Just a click north of Cleveland. Hey, it's me again. Just to let you know there are two parts to this park. Just out of Cleveland there is a southern parking lot. There are bathrooms there. Drive north a bit, cross the creek, and there is another parking lot. This is where the spooky silo is; and the walk down to the old bridge. I prefer the northern part. They are both a nice spot to hang out for a quiet time.

There is another set of regular bathrooms at the concession stand near the middle back from the beach a ways. There is another concession stand that sells some Asian food, slushies and boba tea on one end of the beach in the parking lot. Not sure what their hours are for either place. There is a nice walking path made of blacktop I believe. People of all ages were there and many going into the water, some building castles in the sand and others floating or playing frisbee in the water. No glass containers are allowed btw. But, we carried our cooler and snacks with us. It's very clean and the sand is so soft. Popped up the umbrellas for a little shade and towels out for reading. I didn't see it but one of my kids said there is a section for dogs. I did see a sign for the regular part of the beach that said dogs allowed on a leash from 6-10 am. Easy breezy parking and lots of it including overflow parking. Parking is so close to the beach makes hauling stuff not too difficult. Had a great time and everyone was very respectful.

There are Several life preserve rings located along this beach on stands in case of emergency. There are sections of this beach where the bluff has erroded and slid down, but there are several for paths carved through them. There is a pathway leading north from this beach into a bird preserve and the lower beach park that has benches and a gazebo. There is also a veterans memorial. A great place to spend time soaking up the sun and if your brave enough to dip your toes in lake Michigans chilly waters, maybe a swim too.

I had no idea this beautiful public beach was here. The views are outstanding and the sand is pristine. We took the dog, yes on a leash, for a walk of the beach and had a great time. Overall an easy 5 star review. Would I return? Absolutely! A must stop.

The establishment features al fresco dining and stunning views of Lake Michigan. There are swings and other fun view points. If you're in Mitten, Pere Marquette is worth the drive. You simply cannot beat Lake Michigan's splendor.

The beach was completely empty when we arrived around 11 am and stayed pretty quiet the whole time. Parking at the beach is $20, which I thought was incredibly expensive, but it's good for the whole day. I'm used to parking for free at state parks since I have a recreation pass. It was a bit windy, but not chilly - although the water was freezing. I personally enjoy an overcast day at the beach, so we packed a picnic and some chairs and just sat and read for a bit. The beach is large, with lots of room to spread out. There's a nice smaller playground, a snack bar with ice cream and hot food, a little store for beach essentials like sunscreen, and super clean bathrooms. The restroom I used was a huge, single stall room with a bench- really nice for changing and probably great if you have little kids. I was impressed by how clean the bathroom was. We walked to the pier and checked out the lighthouse, which was a nice little walk. The Deck is right on the beach and is a great spot for live music, drinks, and food. I'd be curious to see this beach in the peak season - I'm sure it probably gets pretty busy.
