🏝️ breathtaking beach setting 12 mentions

“Great spot to find lots of very cool rocks and fossils plus a beautiful place to watch the sunset 😍”

👣 toes-in-the-sand ceremony 4 mentions

“We even got to watch a couple weddings and see some dogs on the beach- it was $15 per car so it is more expensive than most beach access, but it was worth it!”

From the reviews

My favorite Michigan beach, short walk to the dog beach section. Great place for swimming, sun bathing, rock hounding, dog walks/swims (though before they do patrol to check for leashes). Pavilion has snacks, bathrooms and often live music.

#Featherthewonderkitty and his mommy love Weko Beach!!! We are here every day! We hike the dunes, walk the beach, play in the woods and swim!

We just love Weko Beach we have been going every year since our first trip 3 years ago, we now go every yr at least twice, we tent camped when we had a group larger than 5, have also rented the cabins, the extra $5 ngt for the ceiling fan is well worth it so $55-60 ngt is a great deal especially when you are right on…

Was here during the Canadian wildfires early June 2025. Night one the drama added by the smoke was unparalleled in creating an otherworldly sunset . Smoky for sure, a lot eye burn/sting but a dystopian phenomena(!) beautiful . Night 2 we went back to the same spot.

Getting married at Weko Beach

Weko Beach 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.
