Great place for kayaking the Pinnebog River. Nice beach at the end where it meets Lake Huron. Nice area for unloading and loading kayaks. One of my favorite places to kayak.

Port crescent seemed like a really great place for all kinds of different people, interests and activities! I was only there for a bit to walk the beach and check it out on the way home but I’ll definitely make a trip back up this way and to this park for some stargazing, beach time and hiking. There looks to be camping and other things available as well. The tip of the thumb is another amazing place in Michigan!! Shhhh please keep it a secret so the place doesn’t get ruined 🤩

​We recently visited this beach and it was a mixed bag. The open space and the view—with Jenks Roadside Park in sight—were really great. The water itself is shallow and calm, perfect for kids to play and wade far out safely. We appreciated the pavilion and bathrooms located roughly halfway to the water, but getting there was a different story. The walk from the parking lot is quite long and the path isn't paved, so packing light is a good idea. The sand was also a bit rough with lots of sticks and shells, and unfortunately, we were all constantly swatting away biting flies.​

Perfect for star gazing, this Dark Sky International Park is set along the Lake Huron coastline. Sunsets on the beach and waking up to the sounds of the waves in the morning are just some of its many perks. Showers, electricity available, as well as cabins, cottages and geodesic domes.

All photos are taken and distributed by Be Photographed. I loved this little park the one and only time I visited it. A long winding road to a parking lot and a walk easy enough in heels to this dock area. We came across a very rude lady and several dogs off leashes, but we made do!

Port Crescent State Park is an absolute gem for anyone who loves stunning natural beauty and peaceful surroundings. The highlight of the park is its long, beautiful beach with soft sand and breathtaking views of Lake Huron. Whether you're taking a leisurely walk along the shoreline, relaxing in the sun, or enjoying a refreshing swim in the clear waters, the beach offers a perfect escape. The sunsets here are especially magical, creating the ideal backdrop for an evening by the water. The park also has well-maintained trails, campsites, and a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. It's the perfect spot for a serene getaway!

Port Crescent State Park offers a wonderful blend of natural beauty and convenience. The lake access is available until 10 pm, perfect for an evening swim or just relaxing by the water. The dark preserve is open all night, making it a prime spot for stargazing, although it would be even better if there were deeper access to avoid the interference of car parking lights. The sunsets here are absolutely stunning, creating a picturesque end to the day. Restrooms are well-maintained and clean, adding to the overall positive experience. Whether you’re there for the day or overnight, this park is a serene getaway. If you are lucky, northern lights are visible on specific cosmic events

Great State Park with a very nice and clear beach. The sand was clean, the park was clean, and the biting flies were not an issue (thankfully 😂) once we got to the shore line. I highly recommend this beach as it is peaceful and relaxing while on vacation 🏖️

Simply amazing. We stayed on a site in front of the campground beach with our 33' trailer in September. There was a parking pad but the rest of the site was sand. Behind and up a hill there was a nice modern playground for the kids and a bath house. The beach was sandy with nice calm water and amazing sunsets. My kids noticed that the sand "sang" when they shuffled their feet in it. The campground itself is small and you can easily walk the loops. It's nice a shady and a good mix of beach and wooded sites. There are several mini cabins to stay in. The only downside is the road is narrow with lots of trees and it was difficult to navigate with the trailer. There's a dark sky park by the day use area and you have to drive to it. But there's a nice viewing platform. The day use area is pretty wild, with dunes and a long stretch of beach. There are trails throughout.
