Things to Do

If you love lighthouses, we have several worth visiting. There are 6 lighthouses located in the southwest Michigan shoreline from New Buffalo to Muskegon. If you have time, I recommend the 3 1/2 hour driving tour and visiting all in one day.

This is a fun brunch spot. We've enjoyed coffees, special cocktails, and unique breakfast items that do not disappoint. My personal favorite is the jalapeno sausage scramble, but they have yummy crustless quiche as well.
