Enjoy the Lake Michigan shoreline with a walk along Algoma’s award-winning boardwalk, recognized as one of the country's top ten "Best of Summer Boardwalks and Pathways" by Rails to Trails Conservancy. Connecting the Algoma Visitor Center to the Algoma Marina, this ½-mile boardwalk,  accessible on both ends, offers a front-row view of the awe and beauty that only a Great Lake can give.

Crescent Beach hosts summer events like the Soar on the Shore Kite Festival in August and features a changing station on its northern end. In the hot summer months, you can cool off on sandy Crescent Beach by playing volleyball, launching your kayak, or just dipping your toes in refreshing Lake Michigan. Winter brings its own beauty, with ice shelves and eagles nesting nearby. From anywhere on the beach, you can capture the Algoma Pierhead Lighthouse in all its red glory—it makes the perfect backdrop for your photos.
