Pere Marquette Beach, Public beach in Muskegon, United States.
The white sand beach extends along Lake Michigan's eastern shore with a navigation channel and lighthouse marking its northern boundary point.
Father Jacques Marquette, a French Jesuit missionary who explored the Michigan territory in the 17th century, influenced the naming of this beach.
The beach hosts regular community events throughout summer, including sand sculpture competitions and environmental education programs for local residents.
The beach provides 200 feet of accessible walkways connecting parking areas to the shore, with restrooms, picnic tables, and volleyball courts available.
A designated section at the southern end of the beach allows dogs to swim and play freely in Lake Michigan's waters.
