Chapel Beach

Chapel Beach is a nice sand beach less than 2 miles from Chapel Falls. If you are hiking to Chapel Falls, you really should continue on to Chapel Beach. There, you'll be able to see Chapel Rock and Lower Chapel Falls. You'll also get a pretty good land-based view of cliffs that line the Pictured Rocks Lakeshore. As a final benefit, you can return to the parking area via a different trail than the one you hiked in on.

Warnings

The area immediately surrounding Chapel Rock can be dangerous. There are shear cliffs, and lower down the rocks slope into Lake Superior. If you fall off a cliff, you could be seriously injured or killed. If you slip into the Lake, you may not be able to climb back out again. This is especially true when the waves are high. Treat the cliff edges, the rock slopes, and the lake with great respect.
