We visit this beach a lot with our young kids. Beach area is smaller (great for keeping eyes on kids) with a connecting fun playground area, and the walk from the car to the beach is nice and short

Things to do

We love this small movie theatre in downtown Traverse, on Front Street. The lighted 'stars' in the ceiling of the theatre are a representation of an August sky in Northern Michigan.

Another great theatre located right near the Grand Traverse Bay. Bijou and the State Theatre are "sister theatres" - this one with a smaller feel.
