I read this beach was dog friendly, which it is, so that is why we chose to visit. We parked in the main lot that doesn't hold many cars. Luckily, we were there on a cloudy and cooler summer day so we had no trouble getting a spot. The trail is paved for a little over 1/4 mile until you reach the sand dune that you have to cross over to get to the beach. Some said it was difficult, others said it wasn't bad. I felt the inclines were gradual and manageable for most age groups, but you are walking on dry sand. On a hot day, I could see breaking a sweat as you walk, but it's a very beautiful walk. I would say the path to the water is about .5 miles total. With the dog, it took us about 15-20 minutes with sniff stops for the dog. We got to the lake and was surprised to see there was no beach! The waves were coming up to the grassy bank which was about a 5-6 ft drop. We had to take the grassy path above the water to enjoy the area. A suggestion, when you get to the lake from the path, go to your left, not right. The beach opens up a ways down to the left. We saw people swimming and having fun. We still enjoyed the area because it was not crowded and you could explore. We climbed a dune, ran down it, and walked through the paths in the grass. We didn't think this was a beach where you layout and stay for the entire day. We didn't notice anywhere to pay for parking or anything, but again, it was a cooler day so maybe they don't enforce when it's not busy.

I have four kids (12, 11, 4, & 1) and each of them absolutely love this place. We go here a lot seeing how you can park close by and not have to walk far. We go here more than Silver Beach because it just seems better. Don't have to worry about the kids drowning, going too far away from me because I can see the whole area from wherever I stand, walking through a bunch of sand, having a long walk back to the car because the parking prices are ridiculous on the beach, and they enjoy it much more than the beach.

My husband and I stopped at Lemon Creek while wine touring the area in March 2018. Lemon Creek had a lovely aesthetic appeal to it, and the inside was impressive. It was nicely decorated and very inviting. I wish I could say the same about the staff. They weren't unfriendly, but they lacked that personal service.
The wines were good, but the Spumante was what really stood out! It was fantastic! They had peach and raspberry.
We had a nice stop, but left quickly since there was no conversation between us and our server. We just felt like another bottle purchaser rather than a prime customer.
Definitely a neat stop. We recommend it to others.

We took a day trip here for my birthday in September with some friends. Great wine and beer selection. Love that they have live music and have food trucks for a bite to eat. The only negative would be that they need more seating especially with shade. We had a great time although it was very Hot!

Worth going in the off season for the elbow room - beautiful and immediate views of the lake and dunes from the parking lot, minimal infrastructure on site though.

We were recommended from a local winery owner to visit Watermark. This place was great. Music , entertainment, beer flights, etc were all great. Service was prompt and polite. They have many different craft beers to choose from. We did a flight, so that allowed us to find which bones we liked best. Definitely worth stopping at. Only drawback is no kitchen. However, they did have a good truck there when we were there.

The Silver Beach carousel is one of our son's favorite attractions when we visit St. Joseph during summer vacation! It is top notch. It's beautifully hand crafted and painted. They have a gift shop too! They also have rocking chairs and tables with games or crafts for the kids. Sometimes they have it decorated in a certain theme. Once they had it decked out in all Wizard of Oz decorations. They play the music from the movie too! The workers are very friendly and upbeat. Definitely worth checking out!!!!

Nice beach along the Lake Michigan shore line. A small campground near by, and a large pavilion at the beach. Easy access about a mile off Red Arrow Highway. Nice sand, less crowds than nearby Warren Dunes. (but less dunes, too)

One of my favorite stops on our three day quest! We got to hang out with Breena! The place was packed! Yet, we still felt like the only ones there! This is a family run place, and I could see the value their visitors!
Wine Tasting: 5 Pours = $10 Bucks! Keep the glass!
It was hard to choose a favorite, because all 5 samples were outstanding! If we had to choose...
Favorite Wine: Cabernet Sauvignon - very powerful balanced flavors!
Breena took a lot of time with us. She told us a great deal of history behind these great wines and the grounds! Top notch!

At Gravity, we specialize in Wine Flights! Get Four 1/4 full glasses of wine paired with cheese and crackers, all on a cool tray to take to your seat. Enjoy this Wine Flight with friends inside our expansive tasting room or on our beautiful deck over looking the lake and vineyards!
Reviewed By Samantha T
We have been here several times & absolutely loved this place from the minute we walked in. The greatest thing we loved best was Gravity offered pairings from little cups of chocolates, different cheeses, crackers, etc with your wine choices Whatever went best with your wine NOW you get 2 cheese cubes, 1little cracker & a mini pretzel thin no matter what wine choices you made. They have a great outdoor patio overlooking the vineyards BUT they were hosting a private party so we were not able to go on the patio & enjoy our wine. They do have outdoor seating on the other side in the sun! I don't know why they couldn't build a pavilion for private parties so ALL their customers can enjoy the beauty of the vineyards!
So in my opinion either the owner has decided a great customer experience like before doesn't matter or they decided to go cheaper but the prices stay the same or go up. It's sad that they took a great experience & changed it for the worse.
