welcome to the beach
Crescent Beach is nestled in the heart of Algoma, a Lake Michigan shoreline community in Northeast Wisconsin located at the southern end of the Door Peninsula. Complete with groomed sand, a natural beach area and a scenic half-mile boardwalk, the beach serves as a reprieve from the heat of the summer as well as the source for beautiful imagery all year long. Together we can protect the integrity of the beach so it can be the source of enjoyment for generations to come.
