Small Lake Michigan beach with pebbly shore, vibrant park murals and nearby industrial mills — great for moody waterscapes, shoreline textures and urban/industrial juxtaposition. Free parking but park gates close ~7pm; no lifeguard. Best at sunrise or golden hour for soft light and long reflections; weekdays are quieter. Bring wind protection and waterproof shoes for rocky shore.
