The North and South Beaches are the two largest and most frequently used of South Haven’s seven public beaches and access sites.
WKTV Managing Editor Cris Greer was at the North Beach Pier this windy morning and captured images of substantial Lake Michigan waves.
Both North and South Beaches have concession stands, restrooms, play equipment, and parking areas. South Beach sports a big red lighthouse while North Beach is a popular volleyball game setup.
According to the City of South Haven website, parking fees collected through the “park and pay program” are used to operate the beach cleaner, providing the public with the most beautiful and cleanest beaches in Southwest Michigan.
Transfer stations for wheelchair accessibility are available at both beaches.
The North Beach and South Beach and their bordering parking lots will be closed from 11 p.m. to daylight to public gatherings, including beach parties, reunions, festivals and all other events.
