Notes
Things to do in South Haven:
Top 10 Things to Do in South Haven:
1. See the 2 Historic Lighthouses @ the end of both the north and south piers.
2. Visit the Michigan Maritime Museum: Awesome medium sized maritime museum WITH A SAILING SHIP and smaller vessels that offer trips on the Black River and Lake Michigan.
3. KalHaven Trail: The scenery changes from river, to marsh, to field and woods. Then again from road side to small town. There are benches, campsites, trail markers, covered bridges and trees. The trail is well maintained and clean. A must do for any biker, runner, walker, man, woman or child.
4. North Beach: This beach is the definition of a coastal town beach! You can park & pay at the beach or park downtown or in the metered area (there is a boardwalk that takes you directly to the beach). The boardwalk takes you through the marina where we love to look at all of the yachts. The boardwalk itself it absolutely beautiful. Paved and lined with gorgeous flowers, fisherman-fishing in the channel, bike riders, kids flying kites-everything you would expect from a quaint, coastal town. To us, the boardwalk is half of the beach experience and why I choose South Haven over any other beach in MI.
5. Cogdal Vineyards: We want your excitement to build from the beginning, starting with a drive through the vineyard and ending with your expectations being met with excellent wines, great service and beautiful views.
6. Blueberry Acres: Family-owned farm market with blueberry u-pick, wildflower u-pick, pumpkin u-pick and lots of activities for the kid in Everyone!
7. Lake Arvesta Farms': 4-lake Aqua Park offering floating obstacles, cable wakeboarding, kayaking, and paddle boarding plus indoor and outdoor pickleball courts and an 18-hole disc golf course, there's an adventure here for everyone!
8. Go to the restaurant, Taste, with its diverse menu of small plates, paired with martinis in this homey, brick-walled bar & eatery. You will not be sorry!
9. One of favorite things to do in South Haven is to walk the Black River front on the south side and watch the boats come and go. It's fun to sit at any of the restaurants along the river and enjoy the view as well. There's Captain Alexanders, The Idler. Captain Lou's and more.
10. Rent paddleboards or kayaks and experience the crystal clear waters of Lake Michigan (shark free!). Journey out on a fishing charter, relax on a cruise, and enjoy the beauty of Lake Michigan! A sunset cruise is a sight that you will never forget.
11+. Visit many of the small beach towns along the lakefront, such Saugatuck, Douglas & St. Joe. They each have their own unique character, great shopping and great restaurants.
