Lake Michigan a must on your holiday!! You'll swear it's an ocean but it's salt and shark free!! Visit the beautiful nearby beaches. Oval Beach, known for its sandy shores and stunning sunsets, is just a short drive away. Douglas Beach offers a quieter and more secluded atmosphere, perfect for a peaceful day by the water. Had enough of the beach? Take a ride on the Star of Saugatuck, a true stern wheel paddle boat or try the retro boating scene along the scenic Kalamazoo River. Step back in time as you embark on a boating adventure aboard a vintage boat, reminiscent of a bygone era. These retro boats, offer a unique and enjoyable way to explore the river.
The fishing on Lake Michigan is also a great option, you'll need to be an early riser, as the early bird catched the Salmon!!
Bob and I highly suggest looking into reservations weeks prior to your arrival, if the restaruants take them as well as some of the activities.
