Algoma Beaches
Crescent Beach & Boardwalk
Hwy. 42, Algoma
Algoma's award-winning boardwalk is handicapped accessible and runs along the Lake Michigan shore, connecting the Algoma Visitor Center and Algoma Marina. The city’s public beach is meticulously groomed and offers wonderful opportunities to enjoy Lake Michigan – frolic in the waves, relax in the sun, build sandcastles, collect rocks, play sand volleyball or have a picnic.
Questions visitors ask
Is the Crescent Beach boardwalk accessible?
The original site described it as handicapped accessible. Storm damage and repairs can close sections for a while, so check locally if you depend on step-free access.
Can I walk out to the Algoma lighthouse?
It stands at the end of the pier at the harbor mouth. The old site recommended viewing it from shore, and that remains the safer choice, especially when waves are running.
