No, the sandy path was narrow, curved, and carved into the side of this huge slope where the bluff meets the water. It was around 3 PM and there were people everywhere. Some people climbing up and down the huge slope to the water...quite a few on this little trail. Kids trying to climb the sandy incline above where I was standing. In fact one kid almost kicked and into my bag when I was switching from the Loxia 85 to Batis 135.
Given the curve this short path, some shrubbery obscuring the view from further back, the crowds (which weirds me out even more when I'm afraid of heights), and my fear of heights....this was the best I could do. I didn't see a way to have the sandy path with this scene in the distance if that's where you're going.
We drove over 2600 miles in 10 days, many short stops, etc. We got to see a lot of Michigan though. Consider these just snapshots on a family vacation. I always walk a line taking pictures on family vacations....I take what I can get and try not to make the whole trip about my photography. Had I been there at a less busy time of day, alone, etc...I might have found better compositions.
There may have been better spots to shoot from, but I just didn't have time to find them.

I like the top one better but I agree you do lose some of the scale with that curved coastline. Did you take a picture of the sandy path??
