New Buffalo is the gateway to southwest Michigan and offers visitors an outstanding beach along the shore of Lake Michigan.

Our public beach is within walking distance of downtown New Buffalo and located adjacent to the busy outlet of the Galien River and near the harbor.

The swimming area is more protected from the boating traffic than it at first seems, and the public beach is longer and more natural than first impressions suggest.

There are restrooms, a refreshment stand, a small play area for children, a dune stairway and longish overlook and boardwalk atop the dunes.
