Pool Time?

If the beautiful Gulf waters aren’t cutting it and a pool is more your style, you can enjoy a dip at one of the two public pools available within a 10 minute drive.  

Both pools are rarely used hidden gems!

William J “Billy Joe” Rish Recreational Area

Stretching from the Gulf across the peninsula to St. Joseph Bay, this 100-acre park provides boardwalk access to the beach, bay, swimming pool, and nature trail.

Visitors of all abilities can enjoy the day-use areas of the park. Scenic boardwalk access leads to a mile of pristine, white-sand beach. Travel through a tunnel beneath the road to the bayside to launch a canoe or kayak, wade into the bay or explore the nature trail.
