Enjoy the Michigan Coast at Sleeping Bear Dunes
When a natural attraction has been named the “Most Beautiful Place in America,” you will want to see it in person. You can do just that when you make your way to Sleeping Bear Dunes right here on the Michigan coast.

Thousands of years ago, ancient glaciers shaped the terrain to what it is now today. This is a truly unique national park that features miles of sandy beach lined up rich forest terrain. During the spring, you will be able to enjoy a canoe or kayak journey down the coast exploring the rich habitat in person. There are also four lighthouses to check out along with plenty of shopping and restaurants nearby. The visitor center will answer any questions you may have along with offering unique gifts for the area. Don’t miss out on a visit to Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park.
