Northport Beach

Outdoor Recreation · Traverse City, MI

Northport Beach stretches along the crystal-clear waters of Grand Traverse Bay, creating one of the Leelanau Peninsula's most picturesque shorelines. This sandy haven draws families and beach lovers with its shallow, swimmable waters and stunning sunset views. The beach sits right in charming Northport village, where you can grab ice cream or browse local shops before settling in for an afternoon of swimming and sunbathing. Kids love the gentle waves and sandy bottom, while adults appreciate the peaceful atmosphere and those incredible Michigan sunsets that paint the sky in brilliant oranges and pinks.
