About Historic Silver Beach
If you listen carefully, you can still hear the echoes of carnival sounds, music from the carousel, the squeals of children whisking down the giant slides into Lake Michigan, the sound of bands playing while couples dance the Charleston—laughter and joy, the sounds of the rich heritage of Silver Beach.
From 1891-1971 the Silver Beach Amusement Park brought delight to millions of patrons. Bathing beauties in bloomers and swimming caps, thrill seekers riding the “Chase through the Clouds” roller-coaster, families bringing picnic baskets, couples strolling the board-walk in the moonlight, and decades of fun enrich the history of Silver Beach.
Logan Drake, a St. Joseph entrepreneur born in 1863, began a boat livery when he was 17 years old and purchased 22 acres of sand dunes from local Indians along the St. Joseph River and Lake Michigan. He and his friend Louis Wallace began to develop Silver Beach into a tourist attraction.
Today, Silver Beach is recognized as one of the "Top Ten Family Beaches in America". Saint Joseph, MI is a tourist destination of choice and has garnered the title of "Michigan's Most Romantic City" according to the Detroit Free Press.
The reconstruction of the Shadowland Pavilion and the Carousel that once graced the board-walk is underway and is soon to be completed. A special water fountain is also being erected near the beach as well.
