Just south of the Wind Point Lighthouse and the Shoop Park Golf Course lies Shoop Beach. This no frills, easy access point to Lake Michigan is a perfect stop for a quick respite from an otherwise busy day. Easy and ample parking make Shoop Beach an easy stopover for those who don’t have time for a day at the beach, but would like to take a moment on the impressive Lake Michigan shoreline. No hours or regulations are listed on the county or city websites. However, please read and obey any posted rules and regulations while visiting Shoop. Prior to your day at the beach, be sure to check the local weather forecast at: https://www.weather.gov/mkx/ and pay attention to changing weather and water conditions.
