The Hike To This Secluded Beach In Minnesota Is Positively Amazing
With more than 10,000 Lakes within our borders, Minnesota has plenty of beaches to go around. There are thousands of secluded lakeside spots in every corner of the state, each with its own charm. The best spot for visiting the beach, of course, is Lake Superior. This greatest of Great Lakes has many beautiful beaches. One of the best? Iona’s Beach, a gorgeous pink-pebbled beach at the end of a short but beautiful hike. Take a look:
During these uncertain times, please keep safety in mind and consider adding destinations to your bucket list to visit at a later date.
Iona's Beach is easily accessible from Highway 61 on the North Shore - if you know where to look. Reach the parking lot by turning right into the Twin Port boat launch at mile marker 41. Follow signs for Iona's Beach.
When you arrive, signs will point you to the path. It's only about 1/5-mile to walk from the parking area to the beach, making it a great pitstop next time you're on the North Shore.
