Belle Isle Beach

What is the condition of the beach these days? I have not been down there in a few years. I was thinking about taking the kids down there while visiting Grandma's house. Thanks for the feedback.

A couple weeks back on a hot Saturday or Sunday, it was pretty well packed on the beach and in the water, including kayakers [[you can rent a kayak near the DYC and use it in the area).

This article from Crain's Detroit Business discusses the water quality of the beach and what beachgoers have to say:
Detroit no longer tests water at Belle Isle Beach because of cost
