Why Saugatuck, Michigan?
Saugatuck is one of the most beloved summer destinations in the American Midwest – a lively resort town of art studios, harbourside restaurants, and the famous Oval Beach, regularly ranked among the best beaches in the United States. Climb the 300+ steps of Mount Baldhead for breathtaking views, ride the historic chain ferry across the Kalamazoo River, kayak, paddleboard, or simply watch the sun sink into Lake Michigan after your shift.
The town buzzes with festivals, farmers' markets and live music all summer long, and when autumn arrives, the surrounding forests explode into red and gold – one of the most beautiful seasons in the region. Chicago is just a couple of hours away for weekend adventures, with Grand Rapids and Detroit also within easy reach.
About Michigan
