IT WAS A NICE BEACH. THE ONLY PROBLEM WAS THE SWIMMING AREA IS NOT CLEARLY MARKED. PLEASE DO NOT SWIM NEAR THE PIER!!! MY DAUGHTERS AGES 8 & 14 AND MYSELF ALMOST DROWNED, NEAR THE PIER. THERE IS A DROP OFF AND IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. PLEASE PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE MARKED SWIM AREA. PEOPLE WILL BE SWIMMING IN THE AREA I AM SPEAKING OF.

I love Holland State Park, the only things it doesn't have is sharks and jellyfish! You can clean up in the bathhouse, buy a decent lunch at the concession stand with covered eating area.

Our family loves the view, the sites and the sounds of this beach. I have been going to this beach for 40 years and it is truly one of my favorite places. The kids love to watch the boats in the channel as I did when I was a kid. YES, it is a very popular beach and for a reason. For those who don't like the walk and the hot sand...it's a ...

Enjoy our wonderful state.

I like that it is a clean sandy beach, with clean water. It may be a bit of a walk but, i'm not complaining. Its enjoyable by all ages, something for everyone.

As this is a BEACH, there is hot sand to walk through but if you wear proper shoes it's bearable. Holland State Park has a huge beach and long shoreline, along with many nice camping sites, both sunny and shady, within easy walking distance from the lake.
Better get there early, however, this popular beach is often crowded!
