The sunsets from this sandy beach, located next to the iconic lighthouse, are magical. It has a dune area where you can take a boardwalk, climb some steps and enjoy even better views.

The first lightkeeper began work here in 1840. But, by 1859, the government shut the light which was eventually lost to erosion. The light you see today is a replica that has stood as the same spot by Buffalo Beach since the beginning of the 20th century.

The Kingsbury Fish & Wildlife Area was an ordnance factory during WW2 and the Korean war. It was deeded to the state in 1965 and became a wildlife reserve. Today the 7,400-acres of grassland, crop, bush and marsh is managed for wildlife and leisure. You can cycle on all the open roads and trails.

Lit in 1872 and still operational, this lighthouse provides a picturesque view with Lake Michigan from this point. The original catwalk extends to the lighthouse, so for a closer look, you'll need to dismount your bike and walk.

Silver Beach became a county park in the 1990s, when Berrien County began to renovate parts of the beach. The St. Joseph River flows into Lake Michigan on the north end of the beach, the two bodies of water are connected by the South Pier where you can walk to the end of the pier for a 360-degree view of this premier tourist destination. The North Pier, on the other side of the river, is an iconic photo opportunity identifiable with its raised catwalk that connects the start of the pier to the very end where the famous lighthouse sits. The area also features an enormous Splash Pad, a series of art sculptures and the Silver Beach Carousel. https://www.berriencounty.org/1295/Silver-Beach-County-Park https://mymichiganbeach.com/silver-beach/
