Pere Marquette Park

VERY NICE beach area with tons of room on a soft sandy beach! Well taken care of! Paid $7.00 for an all day park pass. Well worth it. Gradual decline in the water and clear sand below. It was like going to Florida beaches only cooler and friendlier to everyone! I could not recommend this more, we had a relaxing blast here! There are bathrooms in the area we went too. We WILL come back, it was that nice!

Spacious and relaxing atmosphere. I really enjoyed the time to clear my head and watch the sunset.

Great place to access Lake Michigan from the Muskegon area. Parking is prepaid at $10/day or $20 for a season pass. The beach was very clean. The bathrooms were relatively clean. Easy parking all the way down the park. We are up here for the week and have visited every day. There is a nice play structure and beach volleyball courts on the premises.

Excellent beach no matter what the season! Beautiful sand with lots of beach space to enjoy. Restrooms and outdoor shower, as well as a handicapped walkway that leads near the water. There is a restaurant on the beach as well as an ice cream/snack shack. You will need to pay for parking during the summer months but it’s not very expensive. Kiteboarders are often there. Great sunsets as well. Beautiful place for a wedding too!

Beautiful place!! Dog friendly, plenty of room to have your own little piece of the beach!! I recommend walking out to the lighthouse!! So beautiful out there!!

If you want to see an amazingly beautiful sunset and how truly beautiful Lake Michigan is come and visit. Lake Michigan has so much to do all year long, even in winter. I watched these guys for close to an hour.

Beautiful beach.
Restaurant/bar on the beach as well as a concessions area and a public bathroom. The beach also has a playground, plenty of parking, plenty of space, and many benches to rest along the way. One of my favorite beaches ever. My happy place!

Wonderful park , beautiful beach, and easy access parking

Love this beach! Lake Michigan is just perfect, the sand here is wonderful for kids to play in, and the light house is a fun perk.

Live the sunsets!

Beautiful sunset..grandkids enjoyed it. Big beach area, lots of parking. You do need a $10.00 parking pass, you can purchase at a kiosk in the parking lot. Playground for kids. Granddaughter enjoyed picking up shells. Public bathroom.

Great beach, nice cool breeze and well kept. Not too busy and plenty of views worthy of memories and pics.

This beach is very pleasant and clean. The beach is wide and contains a lot of sand unlike some other beaches in the area. There’s also a playground and snack shack by the beach. If you stay late enough, you can even see a nice sunset over the water. I’d recommend going here for a good beach experience on Lake Michigan.

Lots of sand and waves. The whole family had a great day at the beach. There are public restrooms and changing areas. There is a bar/restaurant near the beach and another place to get ice cream. There is parking along the beach but it cost $10.

This was a great place for a family day at the beach! It was clean, had restrooms, an outdoor shower, and the lighthouses were really neat! There is also a BBQ restaurant that smelled amazing. We didn't eat there, as we brought a lunch, but it looked like a neat place, and it got quite busy later in the day. I would recommend taking folding chairs and some type of shade. We went on a Thursday morning and it didn't get busy until mid afternoon.

Amazingly beautiful views of the pristine beach and the lighthouses. We enjoyed the walk to the lighthouse, and the breathtaking views of Lake Michigan and the beach.

Had a fun day! Wish it wouldn't have been so windy but a very clean beach and bathrooms being close was a must. Would definitely recommend!

Beautiful sandy beach.. water near the shore is not clear but when we go deep you can see clear water.. Parking is $10 per day which is costly. Shower near the restroom is not working .. should visit for sunset watching along with the light house option.. restaurant near by light house.

Not too sunny today but it’s not humid and it’s 3 of May, so it’s nice there’s enough sun to probably tan - biologically that takes two or three days to manifest though and I don’t burn (what most people call tan; red inflammation over any brown they have for. Natural skin color or tan formed) unless it’s uv 8 or more , but it’s nice to be by the sea sensu lato.

I love this beach! There is a lot of space to run and play and it's always quite clean! I recommend eating at The Deck which sits right on the beach! And the pere is so beautiful to walk on during sunset, only issue is that some of the concrete is missing so it's not the most wheelchair accessible.

Great beach experience, lots of parking available, clean sand and accessible to the water. The Deck is a popular spot for dining and night life, and the Beach Cove is a convenient place to change clothes, shower off sandy feet and get refreshments. A perfect beach spot in Michigan.
