ESCANABA -- The Escanaba Municipal Beach opened for the season Monday.
The beach will be open from noon to 7 p.m., seven days a week with certified lifeguards. No swim lessons will be offered this year due to staffing levels and a shortage of certified water safety instructors.
In a press release issued Monday, announcing the opening of the beach, the Escanaba Recreation Department said it recognized the loss of the sand beach over the last couple of years, but noted the existing berm is essential in maintaining what sand remains and preventing further erosion in the beach area.
