With pretty parks and lots of beach access, this unincorporated community is found in Barrien County, just south of the Ross Coastal Plain Marsh Preserve. Lake Michigan Beach offers private beach access with well-maintained hiking trails, steep sandy dunes, and plenty of space for catching some rays and enjoying the "lake effect."
