From the reviews

Very nice state park! We only walked a short way to get to the beach from the parking lot. We hung out on the beach, throwing the stick for the dog for a bit before we walked a bit on the trail. The walking trail is awesome as it has wood all along, so you're not walking in the sand the whole way.

🌳 A Pleasant State Park Escape This state park offers a surprisingly relaxing beach experience, even when it’s packed—there’s a lot of space for everyone to spread out. The sand is fine and soft, though the water is frigid and occasionally affected by seasonal issues like allergens and a few dead fish.

★★★★☆ — Meng, Jul 2025

Quite possibly the state park with the best beach in Wisconsin, with miles of open sandy beach. There are multiple parking lots, with a cordwalk trail connecting them all. This state park is a delight for beach goers, as well as hikers, with some stunning views of Lake Michigan all along the trail.

★★★★★ — Karan, Jul 2025

This is a unique state park along the shore of lake Michigan in Sheboygan County. What makes it unique are the sand dunes which are protected in the state in a few locations, this being one, another is in Door County in Sturgeon Bay at Whitefish Dunes state park.

Getting married at Kohler-Andrae State Park

Kohler-Andrae State Park is a public beach or park, so a ceremony here almost always needs a permit from the managing city, county, or state parks office — and the rules matter: many public beaches cap your guest count, set ceremony windows, and restrict what you can set up (some ban chairs, arches, and amplified sound entirely). There's no on-site coordinator, catering, or weather backup, so you'll bring your own vendors and a rain plan. The payoff is a stunning setting at a fraction of a private venue's cost. Start with our public-beach permit guide, then call the local office to confirm this season's rules.
