A peaceful beach perfect for a day trip! The water is clean and crisp and there are mostly families or calm people at the beach. Be prepared for your calves to hurt after the stairs if you’re non athletic like me!

My favorite beach in the area! It gets pretty busy, so I try to come during the week if I can. As far as I know, it only has street parking.
Absolutely stunning beach with a gorgeous, endless view of Lake Michigan! Beautiful sunrises, flowers, and trees. I love visiting anytime of the year; all the seasons have something beautiful about them and you can truly appreciate the beauty at Atwater.
This was an absolutely beautiful park and beach. We liked how the benches were arranged along the stairs. The beach itself was very clean, lifeguards were on duty, the whole area was really really nice. The statue at the top of the area was incredibly gorgeous as well. However, the bathrooms were absolutely horrendous, garbage everywhere, smelled terrible. I fully understand that it's an outdoor, free, public area, but I know they can do better than that
