New Buffalo Public Beach, Michigan, United States

Enjoyed a nice beach!
Lovely beach! Visited in late July. Water was perfect. Water and beach were clean. Sand is soft but it's a little rocky at shore, but soft again in water. Lifeguards seemed attentive; especially to people being in the neighboring harbor when they should not have. Everyone seemed to do a good job of social distancing by 6+feet because of pandemic. Restaurant at start of beach had plenty of food options, such as tacos, turkey sandwich, chips, hummus, walking taco, etc. Also, had Island Club style drinks; virgin pina colada, virgin strawberry daiquiri, etc. Parking lot available. Parking not very big so get there early. Rates were $5/3hrs or $12/all day. I believe there is additional parking in other areas though as I saw many people walking across bridge to beach.

Nice playground
Beautiful beach. Paid parking is $7.50 for 3 hours. There are food vendors although all were closed on the Sunday evening that we visited. Sand is clean and coast line is beautiful. Kids can also walk the sidewalk that goes by the marina where they can see yatchs and sailboats

Excellent Public Beach ~ Expensive to Park
New Buffalo Beach is a beautiful beach and staffed with sufficient lifeguards. The parking however is $7.50 via a kiosk. This is outrageous considering all the hundreds of cars parking there each day. We paid and we were still given a "ticket" by mistake. We had to go online to appeal. They obviously monitor this parking very closely. Would find another beach next time.
