Enjoy strolling Butler Street and hitting all the restaurants and shops this quaint town has to offer. From Saugatuck's famous art galleries to locally roasted coffee, jam and jelly shops. There is no shortage of fabulous places to ignite the senses. Saugatuck allows open container in the "social district" off Butler and Water Streets. Enjoy a beverage from one of the local watering holes and feel free to bring it with you as you walk the riverfront.
Get outside and enjoy the nature that the area has to offer! If you're looking for a little pep step, there is a plethora of wooded foot and bike trails that lead to the beach, where you can find gorgeous sunsets. Bring your own bicycles or rent one nearby for easy access into town or just a 20 minute bike ride to The Saugatuck Dunes State Park. While there, you can hike straight through to the most idyllic beach. Take on the climb of the infamous Mount Baldhead and head down the other side on a dune that takes you straight to Oval Beach. The list of activities goes on and on!
