The Lake Superior shoreline of Bayfield County, along the State Highway 13 corridor between Port Wing and Cornucopia, is a classic stretch of public agate beach. Town and county beaches at Port Wing, Herbster, and Cornucopia present gravel and cobble that yield Lake Superior agates, jasper, and basalt, concentrated after storms. Collecting is legal on these municipal beaches, unlike the neighboring Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, where it is prohibited.
