About South Haven

The town of South Haven boasts beautiful beaches along Lake Michigan, a lighthouse that’s more than a century old, a picturesque downtown full of shops and local restaurants, parks and nature trails, and plenty of other activities to keep anyone busy. Visit the South Haven Visitors Bureau site for events and activities in the area.

South Haven is one of our favorite spots in Michigan, and the lake house offers easy access to all the things we love about it: the beach, the lighthouse, shops, parks, the farmer’s market, and just great walkability overall. You can park your car when you arrive and never need it again during the entire trip. Kids can run next door to the Kids Corner playground, you can take a quick stroll around the corner to catch the sunsets, walk downtown for a morning latte, grab a happy hour beverage on the river, or jump on the Kal-Haven Trail for a bike ride.

Check out some of our favorite spots around town, including our go-to breakfast venue, a great 5K run route, and where we grab pizza to go.
