Silver Beach

St. Joseph, MI

Our favorite beach in Southwest Michigan is Silver Beach. The county-owned beach is located in downtown St. Joesph. This beach is our favorite because of the shallowness the sand bar gives the lake and the ability to walk to various activities from the beach. I recommend this beach to any family, especially those with smaller kids.

Just behind the beach is the Whirlpool Compass Fountain, the most giant sprayers my children had seen! The big sprayers go off every now and then, but the small fountains are continuously going.

Silver Beach Pizza is our favorite place to eat lunch when we go to the beach. Located in a historical train depot the place is famous for serving draft beer in a frozen schooner, on top of having amazing pizza!

From this location, you can easily walk up the stairs to downtown St. Joe’s. One of our favorite things to do is to walk up and grab ice cream after lunch.
