If you are a motor-home enthusiast, this is the place for you as the park has camping right on the beachfront. The park itself is large and has access to large expanses of beautiful beachfront, with a bathhouse and food truck vendors onsight.

Easy walk out the pier, can't really tour/get into the lighthouse itself. Great views back at the beach and lake. A must-do while in Grand Haven. Be careful if you try and scramble up the large boulders from the beach to the pier - they are slick!

Wonderful little park to walk. There is some art work on display which is fun to look at. One is a poem on oars of a rescue boat saving a person whose hand is all you can see. It is a touching life sized reminder and celebration of those who work to save us. Its a great place to walk.
9. Rosy Mound Natural Area

Reviewed By HitTheTrailsKC - Kansas City, United States
Rosy Mound Natural Area is a beautiful out-and-back hiking trail near Grand Haven, MI, that winds through 3 different ecosystems including back-dune pine forests, sand dune ridges, and lake Michigan coastline. The stairway over the the dunes turns this rather short hike into a more cumbersome adventure, but the views are absolutely worth it. I run a cinematic hiking channel on YouTube called Hit The Trails KC. You can find my video tour and review of this park on YouTube. Search for "Rosy Mound HitTheTrailsKC".
10. The Musical Fountain

Vacationing in Grand Haven isn't complete without the Musical Fountain. If you are staying in town you can see/hear it from most of the condos near downtown, or they have lawn and stadium seating available as well.
