We stumbled across this beach when visiting the lighthouse and pier. Lots of parking, really beautiful and clear water. Public restrooms, concession stands, and free parking all right beside the beach. While the first street beach got lots of waves the day that we were there, the 5th street beach had no waves as the pier blocked them all. Something worth keeping an eye on depending on if you want waves or not!

This was a great golf resort!! They do a great job of making you feel like your staying with family. Everyone (and I do mean every employee) is very friendly and genuinely seems happy. It makes it much more easy to relax and truly unwind. With 2 great golf courses to play on site, all the amenities plus extras, and excellent food it is truly a gem. Arcadia Bluffs is a close drive so save yourself a ton of money and have a much better time staying with the Manistee National Golf & Resort Family!

A really nice beach that we stumbled across while driving up the coast. Public restrooms, pavilions, playgrounds, and free parking are plenty. The waves were great the day that we were there and the color of the water was fantastic.
8. Manistee Riverwalk

The riverwalk is very interesting as it runs along the river shoreline walking past boats and the downtown area then runs out over the water, wandering back to shore and the sandy area to the beach and on out to the pier. It's great for a stroll or an early morning run. Beautiful!
