It's hard to believe there is anything other than rocky shores in Presque Isle.  Believe it or not, one doesn't have to go to Lake Michigan to run barefoot through sugar sand.  

     There are piles of sand along the Lake Huron shore that we affectionately call  baby dunes.  They aren't as large as those west of Traverse City but like I always say, size doesn't matter.  Sand is sand and there's plenty enough to take some with you in your shoes, towel, and picnic basket.  And where will you keep this sand?  In the carpet on the floor of your car of course. 

     Finding the dunes can be a challenge if you don't know where to look.  There is an unmarked trail leading to them and one has to hike about a mile through a potentially bug infested forest. (Depending on the time of year)  The work is worth it as one can usually count on having the beach to yourself.
