Pere Marquette Park, Michigan, United States

Beautiful sunset

We came here to see the sun set on a warm July evening and were not disappointed. The sun going into Lake Michigan created gorgeous colors. The walk to the lighthouse was newly redone in early 2020 and was safe, clean, and lined with big rocks to protect you from the waves. We were able to take great pictures of the setting sun. On the beach, the bathrooms were clean and private, a perfect place to relieve yourself during COVID-19.

    Huge and beautiful beach near the city
    We 2 sisters from Traverse City in Muskegon for the Unity Christian Music Festival visited this beach one late afternoon. We swam in the crystal clear waters here and walked out on the pier to the light. Very beautiful and not many people on a Friday! The water was shallow for a ways and pure sand, no rocks! Wow! Saw some neat boats coming and going through the channel. Really glad we checked this place out. Parking for 24 hours cost us $10 at the kiosk, but lots of parking spaces and right at the beach. The Deck BBQ & Beer is next to this beach for good lunch or dinner and drinks. Highly recommend driving here and seeing the beauty, and we have gorgeous water and beachfront where we live up north!

    Great family beach
    Two grandparents, two parents and two boys (ages 6 1/2 and 2 1/2) spent three hours on July 3 at Pere Marquette. We were north of the deck protected by the stone jetties from riptides. The sand is very soft and it is not deep well out into the lake. Very safe and not too crowded as it is more family-oriented at that part of the beach. There are fire pits available also. Highly recommended beach!
