Third Coast Surf Shop
The VW-bus-driving dudes at Third Coast Surf Shop will help you catch that Lake Michigan wave. They provide wetsuits and boards for surfing, skimboarding and paddleboarding (rentals per day $20 to $35). For novices, they offer 1½-hour lessons (including equipment $50 to $70) right from the public beach from June through September. It’s a great place to learn since the waves are nice and gentle in summer. The shop also offers sandboarding lessons ($50) at nearby Warren Dunes.
