    Great location for a sunset

    go early and enjoy the sand and views!We only made it a few steps into the dunes before many groups stop to pet Alby and share stories of their own pets left at home. We spent almost two hours taking pictures, and enjoying the sun set over beautiful Lake Michigan. Perfect Place to end our day.
