Rosewood
Beach
883 Sheridan Road
Rosewood Beach is located along the shores of Lake
Michigan. The beach features three protected coves,
including a passive beach area used for ecological/nature
programs, a guarded swimming beach (during the summer),
and a recreation beach. Nestled against Rosewood’s wooded
bluffs is the one-of-a-kind Rosewood Beach Interpretive
Center, which celebrates our great Lake Michigan and its
shoreline. The beach areas and buildings are connected by a
boardwalk that runs the length of Rosewood Beach.
