Um... Tawas is on Lake Huron, not Lake Michigan.

The OP said "east side of Lake Michigan." If you look at a map, the west side of Lake Michigan is the Wisconsin shore. The east side of Lake Michigan is the west side of Michigan.

The long departed OP is still here...I've been trying to figure out where some of these beaches are....now I know why I couldn't find them...aw well....

So for...South Haven St. Joseph & Silver beach sound the best.
As for as area being traveled. We would LOVE to travel North to Leeland, Northport & Empire, but not this trip. Just not enough time.

Hubby loves bakeries I did find one " Golden Brown Bakery"... it has 2 locations... anyone know if this is a great bakery ???

I also found a few antique stores in the area of South haven area. Anyone know of any good antique stores in this these areas ???

I sure do miss California talking about all these beaches...........

Oval beach in Saugatuck.
Holland State park (Ottawa Beach) in Holland, with views of the most famous Great Lakes Lighthouse, "Big Red."
Grand Haven State park (also close enough to downtown to enjoy that)

Thanks for your opinion on Saugatuck & Holland. We are going to check it out. Another poster just told me about the same area.
Do you know if there are many antique stores in Holland ???

Anyone else and their 2 cents worth is appreciated.

Anyone have anything good or bad to say about the hampton Inn in South haven ???

Thanks

Holland has several antique/gift shops downtown -- especially on River avenue. However, when I go antiqueing, it's to the Saugatuck Antique Mall, or the Allegan County Fairgrounds Antique Fair (last Sunday of each summer month).
