Has a pier with a light house and you are able to jump off the pier into the lake. Ladders allow for easy access out of the deep water. A local shopping strip and ice cream parlor is within walking distance. More

I love to go for long walks on this beach and look at the blue water and green/ brown hills along the coast. It reminds me of Malibu! It can get very crowded at tourist season, May-September, but nothing beats a sunset on the Sunset Coast of Michigan! More

Fun to see the beach right after the winter. We had a very hot March & on our visit, the tractors were still digging out the parking lots. This gave the kids a little nature lesson on how wind works. Fun to explain why they can't swing or zip line on the playground when the sand is only 12 inches... More

I walked to the beach from my hotel-The Boulevard Inn-and although it is the "off" season there were a couple of other people there. The sand was nice and the whole beach area was clean.

Silver Beach is a wonderful way to spend the day or the summer. Wide beautiful beach for summing, swimming, and walking on the lighthouse pier. Beautiful sunsets. Splash pad and classic carousel for kids. Scenic downtown St. Joe in walking distance for ice cream, shopping or a meal. The perfect day. More

Typical beach..always crowded My girls love it. Best to get there early so you can get a decent spot. Folks are wild at this beach, due to its mainly the only open free run around for miles. More
