10 Neighborhoods in Michigan That You Shouldn't Miss
Think you need an ocean for a beach? Think again. There are miles and miles of sandy lakefront beaches in Michigan (thanks to the four Great Lakes that border it). The west coast of Michigan has especially nice beaches—try a rental in Muskegon, Grand Haven or Saugatuck. You won’t need a car when visiting Mackinac Island. In fact, they’re not allowed—this lovely Victorian resort town is pedestrian-only.

Harbor area where boats arrive bringing visitors to Isle Royale National Park where you will find a visitors center and the Rock Harbor Lodge.

Rock Harbor is Isle Royale’s developed center of activity, the dropping-off location for most ferries to the island, and the starting point for a fantastic, wilderness adventure. At Rock Harbor, one will find a visitor center, store with basic provisions, lodge, camper cabins, two reasonable, in both quality and price, restaurants, giftshop, water taxis to other parts of the island, departure point for the MV Sandy tour boat, docks and fuel for private boats, seaplane port on the Tobin Harbor side, canoe and kayak rentals, a campground, trailheads for day hikes and backpacking excursions, and, a favorite of visitors, a resident bull moose known as Bruce the Moose.

Mexican section of southwest Detroit.

Authentic, delicious spot for Mexican food in Detroit. There is convenient parking across the street and the food is well worth it. Their prices are also reasonable and the margaritas are great. One of my favorite local Mexican spots.

Ann Arbor's best shopping area is full of small boutiques and restaurants, and features a Farmers' Market on weekends.
Reviewed By debbiemE1094FZ - Windsor, Canada
Wednesday’s and Saturday’s have farmers market selling home made leather goods, home grown fruits and vegetables, organic meats, art and flowers. The people are so open and friendly it’s as though you’re in the middle of a small town rather than a major metropolis.

Downtown Marquette.
Reviewed By luv2r0am
This town takes their Covid precautions seriously and we appreciated that. Most shoppers are wearing masks, even on the street. Which is fine with me, as it’s a crowded town. Multiple excellent craft breweries close to downtown. Getz’s is an excellent clothing store. Lots of cute boutiques. Don’t miss the spice and tea shop!

On the Sunday morning of our recent weekend getaway, before heading back home, we decided to check out this lovely historic neighborhood where many of Grand Rapids elite of the late 19th and early 20th century built their homes! The highlight, of course, is the Frank LLoyd Wright-designed Meyer May House, which unfortunately is closed during these pandemic times. We parked nearby and walked around the house for a closer look (hope to visit when it is safe to do so). Then we walked up and down for several blocks through the neighborhood, enjoying some stunning architectural gems of many styles, including Georgian Revival, Italianate, Gothic Revival, Queen Anne, Federal, and Prairie. And the residents are friendly! We stopped to talk to a couple of them, asking about specific houses. Just take some time and enjoy the sites!!

10. Campus Martius Park

Reviewed By idzilla - Frankenmuth, United States
In the heart of downtown Detroit, Campus Martius Park is a wonderful place to get into the holiday spirit. With an ice skating rink which you can access for $10 and rent skates for an additional $5. A row of shops offering holiday gifts and the centerpiece is the Cadillac Lodge, which is a giant clear beer tent adorned with leather couches, rocking chairs, wing-back chairs, high-top tables, giant Jenga games and several alcohol stations. We went on a Friday night and the entire area was bustling with people and the lodge had a DJ spinning music. Be prepared for large crowds and fun.
