Newbie here, sorry if this is in the wrong place. I’m wondering whether there are any pebble beaches open to the public around DeTour village and north along the St Mary’s river up toward the Soo. My searches have been fruitless so far. Thanks for any info you can give!

Newbie here, sorry if this is in the wrong place. I’m wondering whether there are any pebble beaches open to the public around DeTour village and north along the St Mary’s river up toward the Soo. My searches have been fruitless so far. Thanks for any info you can give! This probably won't be too much help, but here we go. My brother and I have been doing an annual fishing trip for the last 5 years and stay at the Detour State Park. As said, it's a fishing trip so I don't do much rock hounding. Last year I did get a bucket full of nice tumbling rocks at the beach at the Park. There is a lot of limestone washed up on shore. The pretty rocks are at the waters edge, and anything in deeper water is covered with silt/mulm. There are a lot of open beach areas along M134 that you could stop and scout over. If you stay at the Detour State Park, (no reservations) instead of jumping in the 60 degree water to bathe, for $5, you can use the showers at the Detour marina. jugglerguy on this forum, aka Michigan Rocks on you-tube is a Pure Michigander and frequents the Keweenaw Peninsula and finds a lot of cool stuff, check out his playlist. But he may have better knowledge of the area, and what you may find. Anyway, it is BEAUTIFUL up there in the U.P.
