You could spend a lifetime in Michigan and never fully explore each and every one of its gorgeous beaches. After all, our state is overflowing with stunning waterfront parks, lakeside hiking trails, and plenty of sandy shorelines. There’s one breathtaking beach here in the Great Lakes State, though, that might have slipped under your radar — and you’ll surely want to visit.

Sand Point Beach is located just off H-58 in the U.P., four miles northeast of Munising.

As soon as you arrive, you’ll be mesmerized by the sandy shorelines that surround you. The cool waters of Lake Superior seem to extend forever into the distance.

The beach is beloved by locals for its peaceful vibe and pretty views. Gaze at Munising Bay or appreciate the beauty of the East Channel Lighthouse — what’s not to love?

Of course, there’s no better way to spend a beach day than with a few hours of lounging in the sand. Sand Point is the perfect spot to unwind under the sun.

When the weather is hot, take a dip in the chilly waters of our beautiful lake. You might not stay immersed for long, but you’ll certainly be refreshed when you return to shore.

Stroll along the shore, pick up pieces of driftwood or snap a few photos of the sun as it sets along the horizon line. You’ll wonder why it took you so long to discover this spot.

Sand Point might not be Michigan’s most widely renowned locale, but its natural beauty and magical atmosphere are enough to amaze even the most experienced beachgoer.
