In the beginning, members of the Life-Saving crew also pulled duty as lifeguards on Lake Michigan Beach next to the station. This clean sugar sand beach is one of the prime attractions of Charlevoix, and stretches on the north side from the pier all the way to North Point. People gather here on fine summer evenings to watch the spectacular sunsets, occasionally serenaded by the mournful sounds of a bagpipe.
The town also provides two municipal beaches on Lake Charlevoix, Depot Beach to the north of and Ferry Beach south of the upper channel. This was The Inn hotel dock and canoe livery on Depot Beach near the train station. The Inn’s roofline appears at top. Depot Beach is the smallest, but one of the most frequented, in town.
