Singing Sands of Bete Grise

Bete Grise, MI

The pale sand along Bete Grise Bay can produce a squeaking or humming sound when rubbed or disturbed under the right dry conditions. Local legend gives the phenomenon a more romantic explanation, saying the beach sings back to a woman who once called across the water for her lost lover.
