The Best Lake Superior Beaches in Minnesota

Part of the North Shore experience in Minnesota is exploring the shoreline of Lake Superior. My favorite “beaches” or places to access the water are Canal Park, Park Point, Agate Beach in Gooseberry State Park, Iona’s Beach, Pebble Beach in Split Rock Lighthouse State Park, Black Beach, Baptism River in Tettegouche State Park, Crystal Bay Sea Caves Beach, Sugarloaf Cove, Lakeshore Trail in Cascade River State Park, and the Superior Hiking Trail’s Lake Walk.
