Dune Acres rewards residents with a rare blend of dune-top tranquility and easy access to big-lake adventure. Perched along Lake Michigan’s southern shore, the town edges the sweeping dunes, beaches, and biodiverse wetlands of the Indiana Dunes National Park, where sunrise walks, birding, and four-season hikes become part of the weekly rhythm. Minutes away, Indiana Dunes State Park offers additional trail mileage, a historic pavilion, and wide sands ideal for summer days and winter storm watching.
Life here moves at a thoughtful pace. Community gatherings at the historic Dune Acres Clubhouse, conservation-minded neighbors, and the small-town services of the Town of Dune Acres keep things personal and well run.

County resources and outdoor programming are plentiful across Porter County, amplifying the recreation and community vibe.
