Overview

49th Street Beach is a beach in Michigan, a warm-weather spot for swimming, sunbathing, paddling and long shoreline walks. With four Great Lakes and thousands of inland lakes, Michigan's beaches range from wide freshwater dunes to quiet neighborhood swimming holes, and many sit beside parks with picnic areas, restrooms and boat access.

Conditions change with wind and season: Great Lakes beaches can develop dangerous waves and rip currents, water is cold outside summer, and not all sites are guarded. Check local advisories, swim near others, and watch posted flags before getting in the water. Nearby lakes, parks and launches are listed under related places.
