Local Beaches

Pack up the sand toys and floatation devices and get ready for some fun in the sun at one of our favorite local beaches in metro Detroit.

Lake St. Clair Shore Metropark (Harrison)

A true sandy beach with clear water and skyline. You don't have to go far to feel like you're on vacation. You can also change it up and enjoy the pool or splash pad.

Lakeshore Beach (Novi)

Lakeshore has a small shoreline, so you don't have to walk far, but the kids can still play. The water is shallow for several feet, providing a safer space for kids to play while parents can simply wade in their shorts or sit back and watch.

Sterling State Park (Monroe)

Experience the Great Lakes up close. The sand can be a little rocky, but there's something about the calming waves of Lake Erie on a summer morning that's fun and beautiful for all.

Dodge Park #4 (Waterford)

Why We Love It: There are a lot of inland lakes to visit, but Dodge Park #4 is our favoriteoffering good sand, clean water, and a long shoreline.
