Washington Park Beach

Washington Park Beach

Washington Park Beach is a delightful seaside retreat that effortlessly combines fun and relaxation. Strolling along its soft, golden sands, I was captivated by the shimmering waters of Lake Michigan. The vibrant atmosphere, complemented by picnic areas and playgrounds, makes it an ideal spot for families. I especially enjoyed the breathtaking views of the historic lighthouse, which adds a charming backdrop for any visit. Don't forget to grab an ice cream cone from the nearby snack stand! Overall, this beach truly shines as one of Michigan City's gems, perfect for both sunbathers and adventurers alike.
