Small waterfront park on Little Traverse Bay offering pebble beaches, a short pier, shoreline rock formations and open-sky views — excellent for sunrise and golden-hour seascapes, long exposures and seasonal color. Public park with free parking at 101 E Lake St, wheelchair-accessible paths in parts; no entry fee. Best light: sunrise over the bay and late-afternoon golden hour for warm side-lighting. Weekday mornings and shoulder seasons (spring/fall) reduce crowds and reveal clearer air and fall
