Guide
Good to know
Best for water-loving dogs
This small fenced beach excels when your dog enjoys swimming and fetching in calm, shallow harbor water.
Come early to avoid crowds
Visitors recommend arriving in early morning when few other dogs are present and the space feels less cramped.
Expect wet shoes or wading
The entrance ramp is often partially or fully submerged, requiring you to wade through shallow water or climb.
Check Lake Michigan water levels first
During high water periods, the beach shrinks dramatically and the wooden walkway becomes unusable or impassable.
