Organizations Recreational Related Links Travel Reservations Weather Floyd Perkins originally purchased the land now known as Grand Beach as a site for a shooting preserve in the early 1900's. Eventually he abandoned those plans and with the help of his partner, George Ely, formed the Grand Beach Company to promote the area as a resort community. The Company formed the Village of Grand Beach which was incorporated in 1934.
Grand Beach remains that resort community today.
With a population of less than 150 residents, the village remains very exclusive. The area is filled with large exquisite homes which surround the private Michiana Shores Country Club. The village is also home to the Grand Beach Nature Preserve. This site is continually being updated, if you have any comments or suggestions, please take a minute to write Cheryl Nelson .
