Tunnel Park is located just a few miles north of Holland State Park.  It is a popular 22-acre park with a unique tunnel through the dune.  As well as a great beach the park has a dune to climb and run down, a children’s playground, and places to picnic.  At the top of the dune is a nice area to sit and watch a sunset or watch the boats on Lake Michigan.

The last time I was at Tunnel Park was for a going away party for a friend who was headed to Lebanon.  The party was in the evening and we cooked hotdogs and hamburgers on the grills at the park.  Later some of us played football on the beach while the rest of the people sat and talked or threw Frisbees.  It was a nice, clear night and we had a great time relaxing at the park.

Tunnel Park is located at 66 Lakeshore Drive in Holland and is open April 1 through October 31 from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.  Parking fees are in effect during the summer, although you can park across the street for free.
