Tunnel Park

The tunnel alone makes this place worth the trip — you literally walk through a gap in the dune to pop out right on Lake Michigan. Kids lose their minds every single time. There’s a water feature and open grass for burning off energy before or after the beach, plus picnic tables if you want to make a day of it. Restrooms are kept clean, which honestly isn’t a given at beach parks. If you’re visiting Holland with kids between 2 and 12, this is the stop you don’t skip.
