    We enjoyed our time at silver beach county park. The beach has power sand. The beach is very well maintained and clean. They also had a kids playground on the beach. The kids loved the playground. We walked up and down the beach. The kids definitely enjoyed themselves and I would definitely be back. I will have to return in a warmer month.

    A beautiful beach/park with a beach town environment. There's a nice splash pad just a little off the beach. A safe and beautiful environment. Beach is clean too.

    Life is what you make of it.... At the beach with sand and water.... But it is cold. Loving each day. Still scenic and chill on a cold day. Little trip with wife.

    Got a tan from sunbathing

    This beach is clean and not overly crowded and it's a friendly environment. Worth the drive from Chicago. I rather come to this beach than the one in downtown Chicago or

    Located in St Joseph, Silver Beach is considered the most popular beach facing west towards Chicago on Lake Michigan for out-of-towners and Michiganders alike which my partner, his family and I visited today. There is actually an Amtrak stop here. With 2,450 feet of beach, swimmers and kayakers have plenty of room for their own activities. As it was starting to get colder during off season, it wasn't crowded and the concession stand closed but didn't let that stopped us from getting in some very nice photo opportunities of the beach and the light houses just across the lake inlet. Nearby there was a gorgeous carousel and pizzeria named after the location. If you are ever in the area, please take time to stop and take it all in.

    Just a serene, wonderful beach on Lake Michigan in the town of St Joseph (aka St Joe). Very well maintained and always clean. Parking lots nearby. There's a food stand on the beach that always has a line but carries snacks, drinks, and ice cream. Things can get busy on weekends--especially in the summer and on holidays--however we've always found a nice spot to settle on the sand. The waves and breeze are awesome. My favorite is going early in the morning when folks haven't arrived and taking a walk while viewing the delightful, calming scenery.

    We came to watch the sunset. Didn't have enough time to actually use the beach. We parked in free parking and took the long walk to the beach. Very long and many stairs! To park within the beach it's $12. Beach looked clean and had nice bathroom facilities. Lots of people were watching the sunset - so many people in fact, it seemed like a firework show was going to happen and everyone was getting their seats! Lots of places to sit with picnic tables and benches. Not a bad view from the beach. Great sunset views! Love watching the waves! Nice playground for kids. We walked the pier as well and saw a street performer with fire, pretty cool! Lots of action in a small town!

    Can imagine this would be nice during warm season. Lots of beach and water access. Playgrounds, fun activities for kids, besides the beach itself. Winds are high on this cold and blustery day. No sun bathing for us today. :P

    Gorgeous day with big waves

    Just a beautiful beach. I have never seen it trashed, the staff do a good job of maintaining the peace, and it is BEAUTIFUL. Also, it's just down the street from Silver Beach Pizza (yassssss). Can't go wrong here!

    Splash pad, beach and lighthouse.

    The weather was overcast and drizzling so didn't get in the water but it was very clean. It truly crowded even on a dull day. The splash pad is a must!

    This is a nice alternative to S. Haven as it is much more relaxed albeit smaller community and beach. However, if you just want the lake, you got it!

    This beach is the most known and most popular beach in the area. Everyone flocks here once the weather is warm to enjoy the water, the swings/ park equipment close by and the small concession stand that has summery treats. It is generally well kept and if there is a "party" down here, the trash won't stay long. If your looking for beach glass, this place is usually picked over, but if you continue along the coast you'll wonder onto Lions Park Beach which usually has some. I am not much of a people person, so on crowded days I usually avoid Silver Beach, but it is a great place to dig your toes in the sand.

    We came in the off season but this park is very nice. I would love to come in the summer to see it in full swing.

    Always the best pizza in southwest Michigan. Service is always great. It's worth the wait.

    How many picnic tables are there? Are they normally very crowded at around 3:15pm on a Saturday? Looking for a spot to eat with a bachelorette party of 19😬

    There are some picnic tables, but not a ton. The weekends here are usually super crowded too.

    Is this park dog friendly?

    No. Dogs are not allowed unless you have them on a leash and you stay in the walkway
