Crescent Beach is a picturesque public beach located in the heart of Algoma, Wisconsin, along the shores of Lake Michigan. It offers a beautiful three-quarter mile stretch of groomed sand and natural areas, perfect for swimming, beachcombing, and enjoying the scenic views. The beach is complemented by a half-mile long boardwalk, which is handicap accessible and features bench seating, providing a comfortable spot to take in the sights. Visitors can enjoy activities like volleyball and kite flying, and the nearby Algoma Visitor Center offers additional amenities and information about the area.
The beach's natural area is a haven for birdwatchers and those searching for unique beach treasures like rocks and driftwood. The surrounding grassy bluff provides a shaded area with picnic tables, offering a panoramic view of the beach and the nearby lighthouse.
The beach's history dates back to 1898 when Edward Decker purchased the land to preserve it for future generations, and it has since become a beloved community treasure.
