I took this photo at the Elberta Bluffs parking lot, which overlooks Lake Michigan and Frankfort Harbor. To get here, it's best to drive. Take Frankfort Avenue off of M22 in Elberta, then drive past the Cabbage Patch. The road name will change to Furnace Ave, but doesn't visibly change otherwise. Near the end of the road, take a left onto Bye St, following small signs pointing "to the beach". The GPS will then guide you to a parking area at the top of the hill where you'll see this view.
