Mears State Park Beach is just a few blocks away. Bring your State Park pass to park or it is a 12 minute walk without kids (+ 20 with, if you know, you know). We love the shallow waters for the kids to play, the long walks you can take down the shoreline, the pier, and walking the channel back into town.

I love going on runs from our house and you can get a great 4 miles in with beautiful views.

Head into the campground to catch the staircase up to Old Baldy Trail. Some beautiful paths and dunes are tucked up there.

Love to hike? Pentwater Pathways is our favorite. You can also head up to Ludington for some amazing hiking in the State Park.

Up North Farm Market is one of our favorite places ever. Grab a beer and some sandwiches and hang on the sweeping lawn with an awesome playground, tons of animals to feed and a true small town un-commercialized feel. The indoor market has groceries and local goods to take home too.

House of Flavors is our favorite ice cream shop in town. The Antler is our favorite dive. Craze Home and West on Monroe are my two favorite boutiques. The shopping on the main strip is a full day event in itself! Make sure you walk around and check them out.

Green Isaacs is a very short walk from the house to grab coffee’s to go. My favorite thing is to go on a Long Beach walk from the house in the morning and then grab a coffee on the walk back to the house.

Events on the Green Downtown Pentwater has the Village Green where you can find weekly farmers markets, makers markets, art shows and tons of different events. Click the link to view the calendar for the summer.
