Things to do in Michigan, United States: The Best Traveler Resources

December 11, 2021 Esmeralda Fenner

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.

Beaver Island Community Center

Reviewed By Cathangingfromnose

We love Beaver island and it's people..the atmosphere and the friendly waves. We recently went to a play and comedy show. We looked at a building in the harbor for a future business and we hit it off with the owner. We've decided to try to make Beaver island our home if possible. The community center has so much to do..we lead a simple life..it has everything we need. Beaver island is a piece of heaven. Can't wait to stay. See you soon. Really nice place to come together.

There is something really special about this area. We had been once before, and years later took our two young boys, 3 and 5. We spent days just enjoying the surroundings. Collected rocks in Eagle River along Superior, had ice cream on the porch of the little store there, explored rock piles and forests. Learned about copper mining in Calumet and poked around at the old equipment. Everything was just so peaceful. The sky seems so expansive and the clouds so big. Next summer we have another list of things to see in the area, but I am mainly looking forward to just being there.

Howell Carnegie Library

Reviewed By kpcare1 - Howell, United States

I visit the library regularly for the latest in books, movies, and great book sales that occur twice a month. The staff is awesome. Very professional and helpful. When my grandson was younger we went to the kids area often. The area has computers for kids, books, movies, and a comfortable area for kids to sit and read. They also sponsor lectures and programs that cover a multitude of interests and ages. It is a wonderful asset to our community.
