The Road End Beaches are created by county road rights-of-way that extend to Lake Michigan. These narrow beaches (between 33 and 66 feet) have stair accesses with platforms and limited street parking. The township Park Board provides maintenance, trash pickup and security patrols on summer weekends. There are six road-end beaches: Townline, McKinley, Miller and Berrien in Union Pier, Pier Street in Lakeside and Harbert in Harbert.

Cherry Street Beach was deeded to Chikaming Township by the Warren family in 1922. It is the largest beach, with approximately 253 feet of shoreline. It has the same services as the road-end beaches except, in addition, it has drinking water, a port-a-potty and parking. There is a street level observation platform, which is handicapped accessible and a picnic site that is handicapped friendly. Parking on the weekends and holidays from Memorial Day weekend to Labor Day weekend is by property owner pass when an attendant is on duty.

Also available is a regulation size Little League Baseball Field with bleachers and a concession stand. The pavilion and/or baseball field can be reserved by Chikaming property owners through Township Hall.
