Sheboygan North Beach
Sheboygan North Beach stretches half a mile north of Deland Park, offering multiple shifting peaks that are more forgiving than the nearby reef breaks. Part of Sheboygan's legendary 22 breaks along 5 miles of coast, this sandy beach is where many Great Lakes surfers learn their craft. The soft golden sand and gradual bottom make it ideal for beginners, while the outer bars can produce quality waves on bigger swells. When The Elbow is too gnarly, North Beach provides a mellower alternative with plenty of room to spread out.
