Small parking lot at Beverly Shores giving access via a short woodland trail to Central Beach on Lake Michigan. Shoot dunes, wide lake vistas, drifting clouds, and dragonflies near the shoreline. Best at sunrise or golden hour for warm side-light on sand and long shadows; weekday mornings have fewer people. Note: requires an Indiana Dunes National or America the Beautiful park pass; trail can be buggy—bring repellent. Lot easy to access but can fill on summer weekends.
