A FEW MINUTES TO THE WATER
Your beach day.
Just down the road.
Bayside Park is a nearby public beach on East Grand Traverse Bay, a short drive north along U.S. 31 toward Acme. Bring a picnic, spend time by the water, then come back to Gold Coast for an easy evening together.
A public park by the bay
Beach access, picnic spaces and paths make Bayside a useful starting point for a relaxed lake day.
Plan the short drive
Use the park entrance and check current directions and traffic. Beach access is at the public park; it is not a private hotel amenity.

Our guide covers what to bring, another nearby sandy-beach option and an easy plan from the inn.
