Is South Haven or Saugatuck better?

So we have a week scheduled for a Michigan Vacation and can't decide how to split up our days. Should we visit both South Haven and Saugatuck or just do one? Your opinion would be helpful! Thanks Sherry!

Answer

Hi Suzanne!

Saugatuck and South Haven are similar as they are both lively beach towns nestled along Lake Michigan. They both offer incredible beaches, downtown shopping, boat tours, and several dining options.

Conde' Nast named Saugatuck within their list of "Top 25 Beaches in the World!" There are different things to do in Saugatuck such as Dune Rides, Chain Ferry, Hiking at Mount Baldhead and Duck Adventures.
