Beautiful Beach!
Beautiful Beach and surrounding area! To enter the State Park, there is a $10 fee for non-residents for the day. It is collected at the gate via an honor system. We arrived around 10:00am and parking was not an issue. When we left just after noon, it seemed to be packed. Be aware, from the car to the beach, it is a little over 3/4 mile hike. The path leads through a beautiful wooded area, but it does have some up and down hill to it. We just had ourselves and some towels, so it was nice for us. However, the Park and Beach are dog friendly, and we had our senior dog Watson with us. He made it like a champ, but if it was a hotter day (only 70 degrees when we went), the hike might have been too much for him. Once you reach the beach, it is clean and beautiful. Even as more people arrived, we did not feel too crowded and very much enjoyed a peaceful and relaxing morning. However, there is not much in the way of restroom facilities once past the parking lot.

Take a hike
Saugatuck Dunes State Park is lovely. There are several hiking trails and nice beach! The shortest and easiest trail is the Beach Trail which is mainly through the woods to the beach. It is well marked from the parking lot area. We have also hiked the North trail, which is longer and more difficult with more hiking through sand dunes, but you can also reach the beach from that trail. Outhouses are located in the parking lot/picnic area only.
