Stopped by the beach on an 85 degree day in late September. The water was chilly as expected, but the beach was beautiful. There was plentiful parking this time of year and was a great way to soak up a last bit of summer. As an aside, the family camped here about a year ago and the kids have been begging to go back. The sites feel secluded and having the beach and cordwalk right there is a big bonus.

This park is absolutely beautiful, offering a perfect mix of dunes, beach, and forest. The beach is stunning, the dunes are unique, and there are plenty of great camping spots with clean wash facilities. It was a wonderful experience. Wildlife is abundant, and there’s so much natural beauty to take in. The campground is very clean, and the bathrooms and sites are well maintained. Staff and nature center guides are friendly and helpful. A truly scenic and diverse park — highly recommended for nature lovers, campers, and hikers alike!

A hidden gem in Wisconsin! This place is absolutely stunning — you get to enjoy both sand dunes and Lake Michigan at the same time. The beauty of the natural surroundings is truly breathtaking. In the summer, the sand can get extremely hot, but they’ve built boardwalks that make walking much easier and more enjoyable. One important thing to note: there’s poison ivy in some areas, so be sure to stay on marked trails and avoid restricted spots. Also, don’t miss the nature center — it’s really well done and definitely worth a visit!

Quite possibly the state park with the best beach in Wisconsin, with miles of open sandy beach. There are multiple parking lots, with a cordwalk trail connecting them all. This state park is a delight for beach goers, as well as hikers, with some stunning views of Lake Michigan all along the trail. There is a nature centre at the North Parking lot, with a couple of restrooms, and a small gift shop. State park stickers are needed for entry, and there are also plenty of campgrounds available for booking.

🌳 A Pleasant State Park Escape This state park offers a surprisingly relaxing beach experience, even when it’s packed—there’s a lot of space for everyone to spread out. The sand is fine and soft, though the water is frigid and occasionally affected by seasonal issues like allergens and a few dead fish. The boardwalk trails looked inviting and well-kept. Overall, the park is clean and thoughtfully maintained, though it can get busy and parking lots fill up quickly. 💵 Entrance is $12 with a Wisconsin plate.

A unique hiking experience on the shores of Lake Michigan. The cord walk over the dunes is beautiful and well maintained. The view of the lake is outstanding, and the ecological diversity of this park makes it a great place for photography as well as tree, butterfly, and bird identification. There are also forested trails and a marsh boardwalk connecting to a large campground.

This is a gem of this area. I've spent a HUGE amount of time walking the beaches with my wife and talking for hours. When it's warm, going for swims or sitting in the breeze is truly an unbeatable experience. This is the type of place where you consider going and feel tired at the thought of traveling, but you are energized and recharged after you get there and leave.

A great place for a stroll or a dip in the lake. Walked along the boardwalk thru the park. Beautiful scenery! Then walked back on the beach. Loved walking along the shore as the waves splashed at our feet.

We had a wonderful winter camping experience. The lake was beautiful -- emerging from the fog, dark, murky, ominous, brooding and broiling. The dunes, covered with snow and with their stubble of milkweed and brambles, and, with the interspersed evergreen patches and birch clumps, were also beautiful. And, hiking the trails over them was invigorating. The campsites were comfortable, with electricity and sheltered in the fir trees. Water taps and clean buildings with pit toilets were nearby.
