Activities

The area is full of plenty to keep you busy. Saugatuck is full of tiny shops and galleries to keep you occupied for days. However, there are a few we love especially. Below are some of our favorite spots to shop, ride, play and relax.

 

2948 Blue Star Highway, Douglas | (269) 857-6041 

There’s a lot of great antique stores, but Saugatuck Antique Pavillon seems to have the highest quality and is the best organized. It’s large, so be prepared to spend a little time here. If you make a purchase, they’ll offer 10% off a food order next door at Saugatuck Brewing Company.


6495 Blue Star Hwy, Saugatuck | (269) 857-2253

A Saugatuck must-do that takes you through some daring, beautiful dunes while presenting a little history lesson of the area with terrible jokes from  the guide, all for fun.


 716 Water Street, Saugatuck | (269) 857-4261

A classic old paddle-wheel cruise boat takes you around Saugatuck Lake, through the Kalamazoo River and into Lake Michigan for beautiful scenery and stories new and old.


Kindel & Company Lifestyle Mercantile

241 Culver Street, Saugatuck | (616) 795-9719

Full of quirky, stylish finds for the home as well as a small selection of men’s clothing and women’s accessories. Inventory is ever-changing, so always stop in to see what’ new.


3315 Blue Star Hwy, Saugatuck | (269) 455-5354 

Amazing, contemporary art gallery & home store. Of the many galleries in the area, this is our favorite. Stop by to stroll through their garden and learn about their featured American artists. Roan & Black is truly a local gem and the owners have amazing tastes.


119 Butler Street, Saugatuck | (269) 857-8482 When you need a little pampering, this Aveda spa offers wonderful manicures, pedicures and massages.

If you’re looking to do a little fishing, rent a pontoon, some kayaks, SUP, bikes or any number of other outdoor activities, Big Lake Outfitters can help. They’ll even deliver rental bikes to the house.

For tours of the area by land and sea, try one of these fun amphibious rides.


6054 124th Avenue, Fennville | (269) 561-2297

A good place to stop by for breakfast or lunch year round, Crane’s is exceptionally fun September - October when apple picking is at its peak, the pumpkin patches are ready and the corn maze is open.


Landsharks

306 Butler Street, Saugatuck | (269) 857-8831

If you’re looking for great outdoor gear (like jackets, swimsuits, shoes, shorts and more) hit up Landsharks. They also have what we think is the best selection of Saugatuck & Michigan souvenir-wear.


Wild West Ranch

Family run ranch that started as a pony-farm for kids, and has since expanded to offer leisurely trail, carriage and sleigh rides year long.
