We woke up to high winds and kind of chilly weather. The beach at our campground was deserted so I found some cool rocks, then came back to the campsite to look them up. Our original plan was to take a boat cruise to see Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore from the water. We were kind of relieved when the company canceled and we were able to reschedule for the following morning.
So plan B for the day was to go on a hike. We went to the Miner’s Castle lookout and then hiked about a mile to Miner’s Castle Beach. The water near shore was a beautiful aqua blue which is due to how shallow it is and the clear, unpolluted water.
The hike was definitely a moderate level, lots of stepping over tree roots and rocks. The views were fantastic, both in the woodsy area and out on the sandy beach. Huge waves that were pretty loud, but great for taking pictures.
Once we hiked back to the car, uphill and climbing over tree roots most of the way, we were famished and decided to get fish and chips for dinner from a food truck on the way back to the campground. It was freshly caught and delicious! Early to bed since it was chilly and we didn’t feel like having a fire.
