Awarded the ‘best beach town’ by Midwest Living Magazine in 2021, Saugatuck sits on the banks of both Lake Kalamazoo and the majestic Lake Michigan. A few days on the beach, lazily exploring the coast on a kayak or from the comfort of a sun lounger is always a great idea. For a more upscale experience, guests can charter a private boat and spend a day sailing and fishing in style. You can also visit Mount Baldhead Park and Oval Beach to enjoy the scenery.
The best part about visiting Saugatuck is that it is a pet-friendly town and offers off-leash parks and a chance to explore coastal trails together. You can visit Saugatuck Dunes State Park and explore 2.5 miles (4.02 kilometers) of sandy beaches with your pet.
