Tiscornia Park - St. Joseph

"Spectacular ice formations on the shore, as well as the peers. A must see. Relatively safe to walk on the south pier but I would recommend crampons."

"Greatest gem in the Midwest!! We loved every second of our morning here and we will be sure to travel again soon this way out from Joliet/Schaumburg area!! Illinois has nothing like this and that's what makes Michigan so perfect every expedition!! We spent time walking each lighthouse and time at the beach!! Then who wouldn't mind watching para-surfers out in the wind showin' us what they got!! Was a beautiful day and we will be back this fall for more fun in the sand and sun!!!"

"Lovely little park right on Lake Michigan has two piers. The northern pier has two lighthouses on it. Would have been a good place to watch a fantastic Lake Michigan sunset. But I had heard amazing things about South Haven South Beach and couldn't miss out on that opportunity. Spoiler alert South Haven lived up to the hype."

"This is a great beach! Very clean and sandy, i didn't see any weeds. The lighthouse was beautiful, especially at sunset. There is a bathroom and feet washing stand near the kiosk where you pay for parking, it's $10 for the day and you can also pay online or in an app, you need to use your license plate numbers to register for parking. There was a delicious shave ice truck in the parking lot when we were there - about $6 each. We were there over Labor Day weekend and parking was scarce and the beach was busy but there was still space to spread out. You do need to slog through sand, so be prepared for that. If you walk in near the pier you will be by more people, but it's the easiest walking route with the least sand walking. Boats coming through the channel were beautiful, boats were also dropping anchor near the beach which was a little annoying but probably a holiday weekend thing. FYI: no shade spots. lot's of photographers at golden hour near sunset."

"The beach is pretty and clean. Parking is reasonable at $10 for all day parking. The lighthouse makes for a picture perfect backdrop. My only gripe with this particular beach is it is not accessible for stroller or wheelchair at all and would be very difficult to traverse if you have mobility issues or small children. Silver beach is much easier to explore with little ones."
