You say hello to coffee shops, breweries, lighthouses and trolley rides, swimming, sailing, fishing and art. You say hello to charming small towns and vibrant cities where around every corner is a new family tradition waiting to be experienced.
All of this and more can be found in Grand Haven, just 15 miles from the Lake Express Muskegon Terminal!
