Agate Beach, Public beach in Upper Peninsula, Michigan, United States.
The shoreline of Agate Beach extends along Lake Superior, featuring numerous tidal pools and natural stone formations within its two-mile stretch.
This section of the Lake Superior coastline has endured centuries of wave action, shaping the beach's characteristic geological features and mineral deposits.
Local residents and students from nearby universities regularly visit Agate Beach for geological research and mineral specimen collection throughout the seasons.
Visitors can access Agate Beach through a designated trail system that connects to the main parking area, with facilities open from sunrise to sunset.
The beach contains deposits of banded chalcedony and other semi-precious stones that wash up regularly on the shore after strong storms.
