Lake Huron / Kettle Point

Any conditions possible, according to the wind conditions. Danger area is a small reef located 1/2 mile east of Center Side Road that comes off shore. The rocks in this area are very sharp! Avoid at all costs! This is a section of beach that is relatively unregulated. Cars are allowed on the beach making for easy unpacking. The swimmers and beach goers tend to stay near the entrance to the beach. Boats and kiter use the far end. On windy days the beach is often empty with the exception of kiters. You can drive up and down the beach to get picked up if you just want to head down wind. Two access points 3/4 mile down and 1 mile down make this beach a great place for those just starting to wind surf. 2WD cars OK: dense, hard beach sand. Steady winds, 12-30+ knots.
