All About Holland 2023

Bask in the beauty of the Lake Michigan shoreline and the magnificent beaches that adorn it. Soak up the sun, body surf through the waves, or simply relax with a novel beneath a striped umbrella. From a small secluded beach to the vastness of a state park, the Holland area provides endless enjoyment for sandcastle builders, beachcombers, and anyone soothed by the rhythm of rolling waters. Holland has a variety of beach options, and recent dropping lake levels have restored a portion of our shoreline. That said, beaches are still smaller than they were five years ago. With less space to lay your towel, please be mindful that peak beach times are 11AM-1PM everyday; consider an early morning or evening visit. Please follow normal beach etiquette and keep in mind local P’s & Q’s and important safety information : • Respect our fragile dunescape and protected areas • Mind the park boundaries • Do not dig into sand cliffs; falling sand can be dangerous • Currents can be strong in Lake Michigan
