Michigan’s Best Lakefront Beaches
Michigan is known for having some of the best lakefront beaches anywhere in the United States. With Lake Michigan bordering West Michigan (Grandville and Grand Rapids so close), this opens you up to some of the most sparkling and pristine blue waters and beach towns in the nation.
Whether you are in the mood for some romance, fun night life, or simple relaxation, the towns of Holland, Saugatuck, South Haven, Grand Haven, and Muskegon allow for great date nights with a beach view all around you. These areas feature over 30 different beach parks – all allowing for unhindered views of Lake Michigan.
