Sand Point Beach is located on Sand Point Road in Munising, Michigan, approximately two miles past the Munising Falls Visitor Center. It serves as a primary launch point for paddlers on Munising Bay within Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. The beach provides a designated canoe/kayak/small boat launch, with small boats able to be carried from the parking lot directly to the water's edge. The carry distance is minimal, and from summer through early fall, a Mobi mat is deployed, allowing wheelchair access from the parking lot across the sand to the water. Parking is available for standard vehicles, buses, RVs, and boat trailers. A vault toilet is open year-round, and the road and parking lots are plowed in winter, making the site accessible in all seasons. Leashed pets are permitted on the beach and in the water.

The beach is known for its scenic sunsets over Munising Bay, and the shallow bay waters are noted to be somewhat warmer than other Lake Superior beaches, which may influence seasonal comfort for paddlers. The area's aesthetic includes a second beach about a quarter-mile past the main area, featuring distinctive pink sand from crushed garnet eroded from the cliffs. Paddlers can explore Munising Bay, with the park headquarters and a boathouse museum displaying artifacts from the historic Munising U.S. Coast Guard Station located at the end of Sand Point Road. The beach is across from the Sand Point Marsh Trail, a half-mile wheelchair-accessible interpretive trail traversing a wetland known for birding and wildlife such as frogs, turtles, and beavers, offering a potential pre- or post-paddle land-based excursion.
