Grand Haven State Park Beach in Grand Haven is one of America's best spots for the perfect beach day and so much more. Reader's Digest says:

People flock here, to the western edge of the state along picturesque Lake Michigan, for a classic All-American beach holiday. There’s a lighthouse, boardwalk, lots of soft sand, and pleasant Great Lake water.

It gets bonus points for being a short jaunt into town just about one mile away, as well as for its 20 miles of shoreline accessible via a running and biking trail to visit the neighboring community of Holland, with its Dutch-inspired windmills and tulips.

Take a trip and enjoy the best beach in America, here in the Great Lakes state, at Grand Haven Beach in Grand Haven.
