Grand Mere State Park beach is a secluded and hidden beach that few tourists know about. There is a short 1-mile hike through the forest and over sand dunes which keeps the beach nice and private.

Beach glass is most commonly found in the spring or fall due to the direction of the tides. Another great time to visit is towards the end of winter when the snow melts, then months' worth of debris has washed up on the shore and been left undisturbed.
