Parking is always a struggle at North Beach. Especially during the holiday seasons along with peak visitation hours in summer. We rarely park at North Beach as we know it's always packed. That being said, the beach itself is as wonderful as it always has been. Nice and clean and open enough for lots of individuals to get in their sunbathing. Lake Michigan itself is truly beautiful and taking the time to find parking usually ends up being worth the hassle. The other nice thing about this particular location is the ice cream provided by Ludington's own House of Flavors. The old school feel is certainly nostalgic. It would be nice if the city looked at eventually putting in a bathroom on each end of the North Beach location, particularly on each end of the large parking lot. For elderly and young children, the trek to the bathroom is cumbersome to say the least. Overall, park here if you've got no other option as you have access to a restroom, ice cream and if course Lake Michigan!
