Quiet Beach with Great View
Aug 2020
Stopped here to relax for a few hours while staying in the area. Found that the South end of beach away from the playground equipment was almost empty. Had a wonderful afternoon reading and enjoying the sun and view.
A little rocky, but not too bad and comfortable once you get a few feet into the water.

Beautiful View
Sep 2020 • Family
We bought ice cream from the Dairy Queen and went back to the beach to eat our ice cream and enjoy the view. Always a well-kept beach with plenty of room to spread out. Because we visited in September, only a few people were there. We enjoyed the peacefulness of the beach and spectacular view.

A beautiful place to rest for seniors.
Aug 2019
We felt it was time to get out of our car and walk. This was just the place. The playground equipment looked excellent and the children were having a great time. Enjoyed watching.

Nice place to relax
Aug 2019 • Family
Stopped by for a few minutes while in the area. Nice sidewalk along the beach for a stroll. Pavilion with picnic tables. Playground equipment. Splashpad looked rather new. Several families having picnics as well as enjoying the beach and water. Looks like a nice place to spend a quiet afternoon.

Great beach for kids
Jul 2019
We spent each day enjoying the waves on Lake Huron. The beach is soft on the feet and the kids could go out a good distance as the water level was shallow enough for them. They enjoyed the adjoining water park as well. Highly recommend visiting this beach

Needs better upkeep...
Oct 2018 • Family
This is a large park in Alpena. It has a sandy beach. Plenty of grassy areas. Picnic tables and trash receptacles. Splash pad, large playground, volleyball. Very large parking lot. Definitely popular.
This park needs more upkeep. The grass was overgrown, the beach needed cleaned up and trash was overflowing. Trash blowing throughout the parking lot. Would be a superb park with good maintenance!
On Lake Huron.

Kid-Friendly
Jul 2018 • Family
Found ourselves here after walking from the nearby park. Although we didn't swim, the facilities look pretty nice. There's a splash pad, the beach was well-groomed, not too busy, and there are park benches in case you need to sit. We did notice that one of the pieces of playground equipment (monkey bars) was broken and in need of repair. Otherwise, seemed like a nice place to play!

Perfect Anytime of Year
Nov 2018 • Family
Even though it was cold and snowy, Starlite Beach is beautiful anytime of year. Always clean and well kept. I love visiting during the fall because I am the only one there. Love hearing the waves crashing into the shore and the seagulls squawking. Take the opportunity to take a break and enjoy some solitude. Perfect place to reflect or pray.

Awesome park, but the beach was littered with cigarette butts and trash.
Aug 2018 • Family
This is a neat park for families. It has a big splash pad area, a playground, bathrooms, a boardwalk of sorts and a big sandy beach. We went there on a very warm day and it was busy. The layout and construction are very nice, but it could use.more attention to the upkeep and cleaning. There were probably 20 cigarette butts visible on the beach from where I sat, There was orange plastic safety netting around the splashpad(maybe to keeps kids inside?) There were unattended watering hoses laying in the grass in a couple of locations and some sort of hazards right by the splash pad that had been covered up with pallets. This is the only time Ive been here. Maybe it was just bad timing. With a little care, this has the potential to be a very nice place.

Is this beach pet friendly?

There were a few dogs on leashes when I visited, so I would say yes.
Can you drink alcohol there?

How is the swimming? Nice Sandy bottom or rocky?

It is usually too cold to go swimming, but I believe it is sandy.
