Find Your Reason to Linger by the Lake in South Haven, MI
Situated on Lake Michigan with nine public city beach access points, South Haven is a harbortown made for easy days by the water. South Beach, named Best Beach in Michigan in the USA TODAY 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards, brings together wide sand, open lake views, the historic red lighthouse, and unforgettable sunsets.
Beyond the shoreline, South Haven offers trails, parks, coastal preserves, golf courses, and ample opportunities for outdoor recreation. Explore the fruit belt countryside for farm markets, u-picks, wineries, breweries, tasting rooms, and mark your calendars for The National Blueberry Festival in August! With festivals and events all year long, we invite you to experience South Haven in all seasons, and find your reason to linger by the lake.
