Accretion Beach

Accretion Beach is a sand beach along Lake Saint Clair with gentle slopes and shallow water near the shore. The waterfront features natural sandy areas with gradually deepening water suitable for swimming.

The beach formed through sediment accumulation processes that have shaped the Lake Saint Clair shoreline since the last glacial period. These natural geological processes created and continue to influence the coastal profile.

The beach serves as a gathering place where locals spend summer days swimming and enjoying the sun. Residents use this shoreline as part of their everyday outdoor routine.

The beach is easily accessible with parking areas and pathways leading to the water. Visitors should be aware that water conditions and beach width vary with the seasons.

The beach width shifts throughout the year as sand cycles between underwater and surface areas. These natural variations create noticeable changes in how the shoreline appears from season to season.
