Beachtown

Beachtowns in Michigan encourage you to call in sick today and come experience the Lake Effect along our 200-mile stretch of sandy Lake Michigan Beaches. We know what it takes to make every day, a day at the beach. Catch up on your stone skipping, build a sandcastle, tackle a dune, sail on a tall ship or charter a fishing expedition, then watch the most spectacular sunset from our sandy front porch. The possibilities are endless along Lake Michigan Beaches—the memory's forever. 

So hang the “Gone Fishing” sign on your email box and dig in to the sands of Michigan’s Beachtowns. Because the Lake Effect means checking out of the everyday and checking in to Michigan’s Beachtowns.
