WASHINGTON ISLAND, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – A unique beach in Door County has been named one of the top 100 secret beaches in the U.S.
Schoolhouse Beach on Washington Island came in 86th place in the poll of 3,000 families by FamilyDestinationsGuide.com.
Wisconsin’s Schoolhouse Beach came in 86th position. What sets this beach apart from others is its unique shoreline, which is covered in smooth, round stones instead of sand. The clear turquoise waters of Lake Michigan gently lap against the stones, creating a tranquil and serene atmosphere. The beach is surrounded by dense forests, making it a perfect spot for a peaceful picnic or a quiet afternoon stroll. Visitors can take a dip in the refreshing water or simply relax and soak up the stunning views of the lake and surrounding landscape. Despite its beauty, Schoolhouse Beach is relatively unknown and thus remains relatively secluded, making it an ideal spot for those seeking a peaceful and serene getaway.
Schoolhouse Beach is part of Wisconsin’s 1,000 miles of Great Lakes shoreline. If you’re looking for a beach to visit this summer, check the maps of Wisconsin beaches.
