Swimming
 
SwimmingSilver Beach features a clean, wide sandy beach with a designated swimming area. The swimming area is approximately 1600 feet long with a maximum depth of five feet.

Weather permitting, Lifeguards are on duty during the summer from 10:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. When Lifeguards are on duty, WATER SAFETY FLAGS are posted at each Lifeguard tower.

 

These colored flags indicate water conditions:

  • GREEN: okay to swim
  • YELLOW: swim with caution
  • RED: no swimming

  

Always use caution when swimming in Lake Michigan - and parents, please keep a watchful eye on your children when they are in or near the water!
