Small public beach on the Leelanau Peninsula with open views across the bay, rocky shoreline and stands of pines — ideal for sunrise/sunset water reflections, minimalist compositions and long exposures. Easy roadside access with a tiny parking pullout and a short walk to shore; bring layers (windy on the water), insect repellent in summer and traction in winter. Weekdays and shoulder seasons offer the fewest people.
