First on the list is Grand Haven City Beach. Conde Nast Traveler says:

Nestled on the shores of one of Michigan’s most popular state parks, Grand Haven City Beach is a sought-after summer destination for Midwesterners looking to spend time on the lake. The 48-acre park is mostly comprised of white sandy beaches, providing ample space for sunbathing, volleyball, and building sand castles. It's a must that visitors stay to catch an unobstructed view of the Michigan sunset from the pier—it makes the trip worthwhile.

Also making the list is another Michigan gem.

The Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore (which hugs the southern shore of Lake Superior) is one of the most stunning natural sites in the country. However, it’s known more for its limestone cliffs than sandy beaches—until you reach this 12-mile-long stretch in the middle of the park. The appropriately named Twelvemile Beach is one of the most popular camping spots for people exploring the lake, thanks to its water views and ample space to set up a tent for the night.
