Wind-sculpted sand dunes, sweeping Lake Michigan beaches, the historic Pavilion and wooded dune trails offer varied compositions — wide-angle shorelines, intimate dune textures, and summit vistas from Mt. Tom. Entry fee per vehicle; expect crowds and lines in summer. Best light: sunrise for soft shores, golden hour sunsets at the Pavilion. Trails are sandy and can be mosquito-prone; bring bug spray, water, and sturdy shoes. Parking available at main lot; weekdays and early mornings reduce crowds
