SUMMER FUN IN SAUGATUCK
HAS ONLY JUST BEGUN!

 

"It feels like I'm in the most magical place on earth."
                                                 --- Barbara Margolis, Saugatuck, 2010

 

From now until the end of October the beach beckons us all! It simply provides the very best fast-acting relief from stress. You can go body surfing, free floating, fishing, kayaking, beachcombing, or snoozing the afternoon away.

"Beyond the Sea" our villages await with jazz, art openings, shops, cabaret, theater, chamber music, musicals, films, farmer’s markets, biking and restaurants galore. Come visit us at Wickwood and we’ll do our utmost to pamper you.
 

"We had sand in our eyes and ears and nose, and sand in our hair and sand between-our-toes."   --- A.A. Milne

Reading the buildings is a way of connecting with our past. By taking the Saugatuck Walking Tour, you will enjoy learning its diverse and rich history, which is unique and yet in many ways a microcosm of the history of small town America.

Walking Tours are scheduled for 2:00 pm on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays in July and August except for Sunday July 4 because of the parade. Tours start at the Information Booth on the corner of Butler and Culver Streets across from Town Hall at the traffic light.
