Clinch Park, Michigan, United States
4.5 (244 reviews) Spent Ranking #9 in Grand Traverse County Beaches
Kayak in West Bay
We booked a 1 hr Kayak rental from the Clinch Park location. Beautiful water. After our kayaking, we stayed on the beach and played in the water. Water is clear and warm. Sand can get a little hot so we recommend flip flops. We ate ice cream, smoothies, and hamburgers at the snack shack. We always enjoy this beach when we are in the area.

Beautiful City Park
We visited Clinch Park twice during our time in the Traverse City area. The park is beautiful with great views of the boats and water. The Splash Pad was excellent; our granddaughter loved her time spent playing in the water.

Nice Little Beach Close to Front Street
We lucked out and found parking in Lot C across Bay Street. It cost $1.25 an hour to park. There was a tunnel you could walk through to access the beach (under the very busy street). There is a concession stand and bathrooms. There is sand... Not tons... But enough. Beyond the sand is grass. Watch out for the droppings. Then beyond the grass is sidewalk that many were biking on. The water was quite clean despite the reviews claiming sewage dumps. We lucked out and snagged a couple of the adirondack chairs that were there. The water was cold but you got used to it. It was quite refreshing on such a hot day. We stayed for a couple of hours then walked to Front street to have lunch. Very close to all the shops and eateries on Front street. Would definitely recommend. Dog friendly in certain areas.
