Elberta Beach, Public beach on Lake Michigan in Benzie County, US.
Elberta Beach extends for half a mile along Lake Michigan, featuring natural sand dunes and offering views across Betsie Bay and Lake Michigan shoreline.
The Michigan Department of Natural Resources has supported beach improvements through grants, leading to expanded parking areas and enhanced accessibility features in recent years.
The beach hosts regular community clean-up initiatives through the Adopt-a-Beach program, engaging local residents in environmental preservation efforts throughout the year.
Visitors can access the beach through the main parking area at Bye Road or via two designated easements located at both ends of Lakeside Boulevard.
