The kids are sure to sleep soundly after frolicking by the water at First Street Beach. Search for shiny seashore treasures, dip a toe in the water or kick a ball around!

Manistee County is where you'll find First Street Beach. Admission is free, which means you'll have more cash in your pocket to explore! Some other recommended attractions around the stretch of coastline include Little River Casino, Douglas Park and Manistee North Pierhead Lighthouse.
