Fisherman's Island State Park
About 8 km of wild lakeshore south of Charlevoix, with dunes, woodland, and sandy beaches that see few visitors. Good for camping, hiking, and beachcombing.
The park protects about 9 km of Lake Michigan shoreline south of Charlevoix. Most of it is undeveloped sand beach and dune forest, far quieter than the popular lake beaches. Petoskey stones can often be found among the beach cobbles. The park has simple campsites and trails, and you can watch the sun set toward Beaver Island. The roads are gravel and facilities are limited. You need to buy a Michigan Recreation Passport.
