While the name tends to suggest a beach devoid of clothing and populated by large humans that should keep their physiques covered… clothing is not optional. You should be sure to cover yourselves because this is in fact a clothing-required park. Rosy Mounds Natural Area is a gorgeous park with a long narrow stretch of beach. Because it’s a .7 mile hike to the beach, those beautiful summer days aren’t nearly so crowded here as they are in Holland and Grand Haven, but be sure to wear some comfortable shoes for the hike!

I am super pumped to hike this in the fall because the trail is through the woods and I know the color is going to be superb. Rosy Mounds is actually a 164 acre park with lots of hiking trails other than the one directly to the beach. Although this park is free, there is a parking fee from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend (which is this weekend – woo-hoo!). No dogs allowed at this park, sorry!

The park is located south of Grand Haven in Grand Haven Township on Lakeshore Avenue. From US 31, turn west on Rosy Mound Drive, then south on Lakeshore Avenue to the park entrance on the west side of the road.
