This is a great place for the family, it caters to the adults and children, so much to do here and the whirlpool Compass Fountain is hours of fun especially on a hot summer day! Endless fun then grab pizza or ice cream.

We took our kids to Saint Joe’s as young kids 30 years ago. Now we are taking our grandkids to Saint Joe’s and boy, has it grown! We highly recommend this area... between Silver Beach pizza, the Compass splash pad, the wonderful beach with nice restrooms, snack stand and the carousel we couldn’t ask for any more fun. They were too old for the great playground right on the sand! The only down side is that I think the beach could be cleaner. So many cigar tips, and other debris. I think they need a beach Zamboni (like in Florida) to clean the sand... or people to quit polluting it! Hotels are very pricey near the beach. We stayed just off of 94 and it was much more reasonable. Only a 16 minute drive to the beach and they have free parking downtown if you don’t mind walking a bit or on the beach parking for $12.00/day. We liked that they had lifeguards posted also. We will go back again... ????

A beautiful site during the day or night, when the pathway is lit with white lights. Charming to view either on the shore or out in the lake. A nice walk out to the light house with the lake lapping around the sides of the walk., and easy to reach from the public beach nearby. Love this lighthouse so much that I have a painting of it in my house!

A beautiful spot to watch the sunset in the evenings. The lighthouse is well maintained and nicely painted. The first portion of the pier seems to be newer and and is quite level, the second portion is older, worn and quite a bit more narrow. Details on parking can be found in the Tiscornia Park reviews.

Breath of fresh air in wine country ...great change of pace to do a $5 flight tasting of their great liquor. The food is awesome! We recommend the charcuterie board and pretzel appetizers...the purple rain mixed drink is also super fun and yummy! Fun industrial scene with golf putting out back...spread out and large restaurant and bar scene. Definitely don’t miss it! It’s great and one of our favorite stops.

Our wines are made exclusively from grapes grown in the Lake Michigan Shore Appellation - one of the most fertile growing regions in the nation - which not only sets us apart from other wineries in the state, but has been instrumental in making us Michigan's most-awarded winery. Our wide selection of award-winning wines ranges from internationally recognized dry wines to award-winning sweet wines, and everything in between. We are also proud to offer craft distilled spirits, and ciders.

My family was here to visit from California. To my surprise they wanted to visit wineries in the Midwest. This winery was a couple hours from my home so why not? The variety of wines were really good. My cousin enjoyed the wine tasting. I don’t drink alcohol so I did not think I would find anything of interest for me but to my surprise they had a nice selection of sparkling juices—which I love. I purchased four varieties. I only opened one bottle so far but I really enjoyed it. My cousin also liked the wines she purchased. There are nice souvenirs as well. I enjoyed browsing and bought a few other items as well. I am planning another trip to the winery alone to purchase a case of wine and a case of sparkling juice to give as holiday gifts. On a final note, I found the staff to be very friendly and helpful
