YMCA Beach Manitowoc | Great Lakes Guide

This beach, on the northeast side of the YMCA parking lot is a great spot to take a few minutes to enjoy views of Lake Michigan. Those interested in ships can also catch a glimpse of the S.S. Badger, the ferry that runs between Manitowoc and Luddington, MI coming or leaving port. Additionally, visitors to this beach can enjoy a walk out onto the breakwater that protects the Manitowoc Marina from the rougher waters of the lake.

No amenities are available, and swimming is not recommended due to potentially high boat traffic entering and leaving the marina. Additional questions can be directed to the City of Manitowoc at 920-686-3580 or to the YMCA at 920-682-0341.
