Small waterfront park on Lake Michigan with a sandy beach, grassy bluffs, and a long pier leading to the North Pier/Lighthouse — excellent for pier leading lines, glassy water reflections, and wide open sunsets. Best at golden hour and blue hour; summer evenings and late‑spring offer calm water and long daylight, while autumn adds dramatic skies. Onsite parking on Erie St; short walk to shoreline and pier; seasonal crowds peak midafternoon on weekends. No entry fee.
