There are numerous beaches in and around Copper Harbor that are ideal for swimming or just beachcoming. Lake Manganese is a mile from the village, and Lake Fanny Hooe is within walking distance of main street. Great Sand Bay, between Eagle Harbor and Eagle River is also a wonderful sandy beach with a gradual depth. If you aren't particularly looking for sand, then almost anywhere along the shoreline between Copper Harbor and Fort Wilkins offers miles of pebble and agate beaches to explore. Waters on Lake Superior are quite cold even in summer, so test the water before plunging in.
