Cool Off at Washington Park and Beach

Michigan City LaPorte 5

Feel the cool breeze off Lake Michigan.  Dive into the clear waters for a refreshing dip.  Build a sand castle as the waves lap over you.

Scenic Washington Park and Beach in Michigan City offer more than just a place to stay cool — you can also walk the long pier to the lighthouse, or visit the Washington Park Zoo.
