Simmons Island Beach

Simmons Island Beach is a sand beach along Lake Michigan in Kenosha County with fine sand covering a wide shoreline. Natural vegetation borders the water's edge, creating a natural boundary between the beach and surrounding areas.

The beach has served as a recreation area for Kenosha County residents since the early 1900s. Over many decades, it became an important gathering place for lakefront leisure activities.

The beach hosts summer festivals where residents gather for music, food, and lakeside celebrations. These events shape community traditions and bring people together throughout the season.

The beach is accessible daily with parking areas and restroom facilities near the entrance. Visitors should check weather conditions and water safety before entering the lake.

Native plant species create natural barriers that protect the shoreline from Lake Michigan erosion. These plants play an important role in keeping the beach stable over time.
