Questions visitors ask
Which Manitowoc beach is better for small children?
Red Arrow Park has an accessible lakefront walkway that makes it easy with strollers. Silver Creek Park has more room to roam, with a creek, overlooks and trails, so it suits families who want a walk as well as a swim.
Is the water warm enough to swim?
By mid to late summer, usually. Earlier in the season, and after days of west wind that push warm surface water offshore, the shore water can be surprisingly cold. Check posted advisories before going in.
