Activities and amenities

In addition to swimming, boating, fishing, and camping, the park features dune areas, picnic areas, playgrounds, and views of Holland Harbor and the Holland Harbor Light, "Big Red".[4] The Lake Macatawa unit features a campground, beach, and public boat launch. The Lake Michigan unit features a paved campground, pavilion, and broad sandy beach along Lake Michigan. The adjacent channel breakwall is a popular walk in the summer, though it is not intended for public use and can be treacherous during adverse weather.

gollark: You could also say Βob, which is identical-looking but uses a capital β instead of an actual B.
gollark: Or, well, human languages™.
gollark: Unicode™!
gollark: Yes, that is actually B.
gollark: Advantages of 128-character full-charset names:- /view/n/ pages would still only hold one unique dragon- greater opportunities for creativity via use of anomalous Unicode- essentially infinite quantity of available names- can reuse names through use of invisible characters and/or homoglyphs- more efficient lyrical lineages - fewer dragons required per word- could store 2048 bits of data per name via base65536- can name them after people/things in other languagesDisadvantages:~~- cannot actually distinguish some names without a hexdump or something- pretty hard for people to actually use without knowledge of ridiculous Unicode stuff~~ none whatsoever
