Quaint Towns on the Great Lakes
Nestled along Michigan’s southwest coast, Harbor Country has welcomed visitors to its scenic shores for years, enticing guests with wide beaches and a slow pace of life. It’s easy to see why the state’s slogan is “pure Michigan” as you swim in the refreshing waters of Lake Michigan, go wine-tasting at nearby family-owned vineyards, trek to the top of massive sand dunes, or paddle a canoe around smaller inland lakes. The southwest coast is also dotted with family-friendly beach towns where you can shop and dine. Sample local brews on tap at Greenbush Brewing Co. in nearby Sawyer, ride the historic Silver Beach Carousel in St. Joseph, or snap a photo of the lighthouse in South Haven at sunset.
