View of Lake Michigan from North Wahl Avenue

Highlight • Viewpoint

Although not much of the beach can be seen from here, it is still a nice lookout point to Lake Michigan. We were presented with rich colors on our visit in autumn.

McKinley Beach

Highlight • Beach

This beach, constructed in 1989, serves dual purposes: as a recreational area and a barrier between the lake and the road, addressing the fluctuating water levels. The views from here, overlooking the lake and Government Pier, are stunning.
