17 Best and Fun Things To Do In Beverly Shores, Indiana


TouristWire Editors

Indiana may not be the first place you think of when you hear “beach town”, but Beverly Shores is certainly one that you won’t want to miss!

Situated alongside the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore, this charming little town has everything for a relaxing getaway.

It’s home to Kemil Beach, which boasts the same scenic beauty as the National Lakeshore – minus the crowds.

Although the beach is reason enough to visit, Beverly Shores also happens to be a National Historic site.

The town is home to the Century Progress Homes showcased at the 1933 World Fair. These incredible homes are works of art in their own right, and are a must-see for anyone interested in architectural history.

If you’re looking for a quiet destination near the water to unplug from the daily grind, the peaceful town of Beverly Shores could be for you!
