Photo Friday: Flying above the Leelanau Peninsula by kimmus122
I think that this is Christmas Cove – can anyone confirm or deny?
Kimberly has another aerial right here. You can see more of her Leelanau photos on Flickr (slideshow) and learn more about her at her blog!
I believe that it was taken north of Northport, close to the tip of the Leelanau penninsula. You can see where the houses end at Leelanau State Park and Legs Lake. Where might Christmas Cove be?
Cathead Bay I think.
Cathead bay with Mud lake and Northport Point in the background… I just checked it out on “LiveMaps” to confirm.
Cathead Bay. Christmas Cove would be a little south of this beach.
It’s Cathead Bay for sure. An absolutely perfect spot to moor one’s boat and enjoy the beach because of the prevailing offshore winds. The expanse of beach and relative solitude make this one of Lake Michigan’s finest beaches.
