Small Lake Michigan bay with wide sandy beach, low dunes and long western horizons — excellent for sunrise/sunset, dramatic cloudscapes and long exposures of breaking waves. Seasonal access (summer busiest); parking at a small lot off County Road, no entry fee. Best light: golden hour and blue hour; winter offers stark, icy foregrounds and fewer visitors. Prepare for wind, unstable dune edges and limited facilities.
