Located along the West Coast of Michigan, Grand Haven boasts beautiful beaches, unique attractions and fun-filled annual events, making it a prime vacation destination year-round. Located on the shores of Lake Michigan, Grand Haven State Park is a great place to camp, swim, crosscountry ski, fish and picnic. Fishing charters and boat tours are offered by a number of Grand Haven outfitters, with some of the excursions leaving from the city's Grand Isle Marina. The Tri-Cities Historical Museum is a fun way to spend the day learning about the history of Northwest Ottawa County, including the communities of Grand Haven, Spring Lake and Ferrysburg. During spring and summer months, people gather to see a synchronized light and music show at the World's Largest Musical Fountain. In late July and early August the 10-day Coast Guard Festival brings live music, carnival rides and a parade to Grand Haven.
