Our favorite things - must dos!

Along with visiting our famous beaches (Oval Beach, West Side Co. Park, & Pier Cove), the stops you absolutely can't miss (or you'll be sad) are the dune rides, boat tours (Star of Saugatuck, land & water Duck Tours, or rent your own at Retro Boat Rentals), wineries & breweries (FennValley Vineyards, Saugatuck Brewing, & Virtue Cider are within 3 miles & family friendly - AND have all partnered with the Hop & Vine to offer deals!), Forever Curious Children's Museum, galleries, creating art at the Art Barn, hiking trails in the Saugatuck Dunes State Park, kayaking & paddleboarding, riding the antique chain ferry across the Kalamazoo River to climb Mt. Baldhead, boutique shopping, antiquing, tasting goat cheese & seeing the goats at Evergreen Creamery, fruit picking, and eating at some of the top restaurants in the state (Borrowed time for tapas, The Southerner for elevated southern dishes overlooking the river, Phil's for crafted American & families, the Kirby for a delicious dinner on the deck, Red Dock for a totally chill on the water vibe, Crane's in Fennville for down home cooking, pie flights, & cider donuts, & Uncommon Grounds for coffee - try the nitro coffee!).
