Lake Michigan and the Bay is low, between our sandy beach and the water it is rocky and sandy but very easy to navigate. Great for children- the bay is shallow in front of the beach (bring snorkel gear) Crystal clear water with sandy and rocky bottom (bring water shoes) Walks along the beach Small private marina next door Paddle boat, kayak & floats provided Beautiful sunrises and sunsets See the Milky Way in the clear night sky Campfires on the beach |
The Bay & Beach
| The beach is sandy to the high water mark. A beautiful maple tree provides a shady spot for those who want to be out of the sun. |

| Although Grand Traverse Bay is east of the house, the rosy glow from sunsets can be seen over the water. Facing northeast on the deck you can see Lake Michigan in the far distance, Northport Bay, 'Gull Island,' and the opposite shore of Grand Traverse Bay. Click here for a view to the southeast |
