Pentwater, MI
You don’t really have to be on the coast to enjoy the beach towns. North America’s Great Lakes also have beautiful shorelines, and it would be a shame to ignore some charming lakeside locations spattered around.
For those who’ve never visited the US’s Great Lakes, it might come as a surprise to learn that sandy beaches are the norm. Michigan’s Pentwater has Old Baldy, a dune located in Mears State Park that can be reached by a hiking trail.
Worth mentioning are the village’s residents, who are the key to Pentwater’s friendly, easy-going charm, as you’ll no doubt find out during a leisurely stroll along the quaint streets.
The primary reason you should visit, though, is the water, with the calm Pentwater Lake sheltered from the chaos of the more prominent Lake Michigan, making it a popular spot for kayaking.
During the wintertime, it often freezes over to be hijacked by ice anglers. Want to explore further? Boat charters are readily available for those who want to check out the area.
One thing you can be sure of is that no matter which of these stunning beach towns you choose, you’re sure to have a RELAXING time.

What a beautiful beach. I would love to be there some day, it is so colorful and inviting.
You completely missed the small communities on the gulf coast in Texas. I guess I should thank you for not crowding up our beaches with tourists!
