Saugatuck, Michigan is never lacking in activity. Her sister cities of, Fennville, Glenn, and Holland add even more fun and flavor to your vacation. In the late 1800s, many of the towns suffered enormous damage caused by fires. Saugatuck and Douglas were spared this tragedy. They were also spared the urban sprawl that occurred with most smaller towns along the path of the railroad. For this reason, these towns still display more historic architecture in their well-preserved buildings. Charming inns offer peaceful accommodations, while enchanting shops and other sites make for a dream-like retreat, in this area free of the suburban mall appearance. Don’t forget the attractive restaurants serving incredibly delicious dinners! The beaches here have been named in the top five beaches in America, and the cool, quiet parks are beckoning anyone who lives or visits here to relax awhile. Another great place to relax is a bed and breakfast inn, where you will find accommodations with personal attention. One fun Saugatuck attraction is the Star of Saugatuck steam wheeler, which tours Lake Michigan. The river here is an awesome sight, with 900 yachts and sailboats making their home here. The dunes and fishing and golfing offer even more variety at this great vacation destination.
