Small lakeshore park with sandy dunes, a breakwater/lighthouse views and wide Lake Michigan horizons — great for dramatic skies, long exposures and minimalist shoreline compositions. Best at golden hour (sunrise for soft east light, sunset for fiery skies reflected on water). Easy roadside parking, no entry fee; accessible paths are limited near dunes. Weekdays and off-season yield fewer visitors; storms and winter ice offer moody alternatives.
