Name: Oval Beach
Address: Perryman St. and Oval Dr., Saugatuck, MI, 49453

Historic Oval Beach has been hailed as one of the world’s Top 25 beaches by Condé Nast Traveler and one of America’s Top 5 beaches by MTV – and it’s just a 45-minute drive from downtown Grand Rapids.

Nestled among towering sand dunes and bordered by the winding Kalamazoo River on its way to Lake Michigan, Oval Beach is a beach-lover’s paradise. (No salt! No sharks!) Visitors can enjoy a variety of activities, from sunbathing and swimming to hiking through scenic trails. The parking lot can fill to capacity at peak summer times, but the beach can also be accessed via chain ferry or Interurban bus. The beach is just 10 minutes from charming downtown [Saugatuck](https://www.experiencegr.com/articles/post/saugatuck-douglas/).

Parking is $10/day or $50/season, which runs from the Memorial Day through Labor Day weekends.
