Beaches you can walk to!
There are two beaches that you can walk to from the house. The first one is an unmarked community beach. To access the beach you will turn left out of the driveway. When you reach the stop sign continue walking straight. There is a private beach with a rope to the right (Not the beach access) but to the left of that fence is the access point to the public beach. The beach has stairs to get down to the water (3 stairs) and there is usually one purple chair there for anyone to use. I have beach chairs you are welcome to bring with you to any of the beaches.
Don't miss
The second Beach you can walk to
The second beach you can walk to us at the end of Lovers Lane. Turn right out of the driveway and walk to the end of Lovers Lane. The Park is called Vic Steimel Park. This is a great spot to put in kayaks or paddle boards if you rent them while you are staying up north. You can rent paddle boards from Suttons Bay Bikes.
