Sandy dunes and the geographic southernmost tip of Lake Michigan offer minimalist shoreline compositions, wide lake vistas and dramatic skies. Best at sunrise or golden hour for warm light; winter brings icy textures and near-deserted scenes. Small park with paid parking (seasonal), porta‑johns and limited accessibility; expect wind and blowing sand. Good for solitude, long exposures and abstract dune studies. Boat launch opening summer 2025 may add new activity.
