What is ‘The Beach’ at Campus Martius Park?
In the center of Downtown Detroit, The Beach features 400,000 pounds of soft sand and colorful lounge chairs perfect for a summer day under the sun. Families can enjoy building sandcastles, listening to live music and sipping a drink.
The Beach is open from June through October at Campus Martius Park, and this year’s refreshed layout offers even more space for metro Detroit kids to play, dig, and explore.
