Lakeshore Park sits on Lake Michigan with a long pier, sandy beach, dunes and open horizons — ideal for sunrise/sunset vistas, long-exposure waterscapes, pier leading-lines and shorebird activity. Best at golden hour and blue hour; summer mornings and weekday evenings are least crowded. Free entry, public parking and paved paths make gear transport easy. Weather can be windy; check forecasts for dramatic skies.
